Go here and download a MS-DOS 6.22 boot disk,the filename
is DOSBOT29.EXE.Put a clean floppy in A: Open up a DOS box
and go to where the file is,and type DOSBOT29 /S A:
That will write your boot disk,and that boot disk will be enough to
install Win3.11.After you boot up with the boot disk just SYS C:
That will copy all the boot files to C: If you need to use your cdrom
you may have to add your own driver to the autoexec.bat and the
config.sys files,the ones on the disk may not work.
