Solve : 3.1 OS install question/s.?

Answer» <html><body><p>I have an old Dell 3000 M266XT that I can put to use, but need to find the 3.1 O.S. on floppy disks or CD if there is such a thing. I want to do a fresh install from 3.1 up to Windows 98 using 95 Upgrade and then to 98 Upgrade only because I have both Upgrades 95 and 98. Ultimately I want to end with 98 SE if I can find a copy of that. I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/found-458144" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOUND">FOUND</a> a few sites that claim they have 3.1 OS in zip form but not having any luck <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/loading-1076696" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOADING">LOADING</a> to floppies ones files are extracted. Any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/help-239643" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HELP">HELP</a> would be appreciated. My reason for the 3.1 is because that is what was on the laptop HDD when it was given to me and I just bought the 95 upgrade and then the 98 upgrade after that...so no full versions of anything. except XP and Vista. I loaded XP on it but boy was it a dog. <br/><br/>The laptop has both cd drive and a floppy drive, and has the highest I can go with memory, I think, and I believe I have a decent size HDD as well which I bought new for a replacement about a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/decade-945561" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DECADE">DECADE</a> ago and it is ready for a fresh install of whatever. <br/><br/><br/>You won't need to load all those different versions of windows to get the win98. If you boot from a floppy with cd drivers you can download a disk image from here.<br/><br/><a href="http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm">http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm</a><br/><br/>And then run setup from the win98 cd or if on floppy disk, boot from the first disk and install Windows 98. <br/><br/>With there being limited support for internet and hardware under Win98 perhaps a install of Puppy linux would be worth considering.<br/>Thanks so much for the info...I'm sure it will be challenging to find the drivers I would need but It'll be fun <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/looking-1079184" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOKING">LOOKING</a>.<br/></p></body></html>
