Then again, bochs 2.0 was just released, it will be interesting to see how much things have improved.

Umm... I was using bochs 2.0pre3, and wine 20021125. The Windows 95 disk is an old OEM disk from 1997, version 4.00.950. That probably means that Bochs 2.0 won't be a huge improvement over my experience. On the other hand, if they fixed the network problem, or that was a stupid mistake I made, it might work to set everything up in Bochs and then run from Wine for everyday use. (Who wants to test their pages in IE when it's running dog-slow 16 colors in a 640x480 window?)

If Wine gets some of their cabextract functions implemented, one might be able to do the whole install from wine. That would make me happier, I think.

Some day when I'm feeling adventurous I might try upgrading to win98 and ie6, but that's not right now.
