Problem solved :
The cause of Win95 setup freezing and the "not enough extended memory
available to run Windows" error messages was due to the CPU.
The IBM M2 P166+ MX was replaced and Windows now installs fine.
I tried down-clocking the original CPU, but this made no difference.

Strange that a faulty CPU causes this error message !
