A friend just bought a duo 2300.  The Japanese operating system is
loaded on the machine, but also came on a CD rom.  We are in Japan, so
he wants me to clean install system 7.5 (English) for him. I've done
this to my own computer, and I'm willing to try it again...but as far as
we can see the 2300 doesn't have a cdrom drive - so why did the shop
supply the operating system on cd-rom? 

Q1.   Does this seem wierd to anyone else, or am I missing something?

Q2.   I've made floppies of system 7.5 as recommended by the read me on
the disk, but what should I do about the duo-specific system enabler
which will be stripped off the hard drive if I do a clean install?
