Zipped Win95

I did exactly this when we received some new machines with CD versions of
Win 95. Neat idea when the machines don't have CDs. :-)

Anyway, I zipped the entire win95 directory off the cd from a machine that
had one, then unzipped to the new machine and ran the setup. Things
installed quickly and smoothly. I've also used this to add additional
features that don't go on with the original setup. Just be sure you have
LOTS of disk space.
