- Is there anyway to install Windows NT without having a CD-ROM connected
- directly to the PC? I've got access to a CD-ROM at work, but wanted to
- install Windows NT on my machine at home. Can this be done? I presume not,
- but I don't want to fork out the cash for a CD-ROM. Is there anyway to
- transfer the CD-ROM information onto floppy? (Yes, I know that, if possible,
- it would take boxes and boxes of disks.)
-
- Thanks.

- My system configuration is as follows:
-
- 386/33
- 300 MB disk space
- 8 MB RAM
- Windows 3.1, DOS 5.0
