Reinstall
As a pet project we are trying to install Windows 95 on an OLD Laptop PC (Toshiba Satallite 110CS) Well Our first Debacle was Dos Died due to us Formatting the system (Well duh) How ever we have failed to beable to Get a Base install of dos to start Installing 95. We have No CD-ROM (Quaint we know.) and all the boots we know are dieing when they discover no CD-Rom. Can anyone point us to a Viable Dos we can install from using 5 1/2in floppies. We tried bootdisk.com already but those dont seem to work.
Or if somone could point us to a windows 98 Install that doesnt require a CD and will run in Dos LOL.

--add-repository 'DEB_LINE'

To handle more than one package the names have to be put into quotation marks. The following command will install xterm and eterm:
$ aptdcon --install "xterm eterm"
The following command will add the backport repository to the sources.list in a separate file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list :
$ aptdcon --sources-file backports.list
--add-repostiry "deb http://archive.backports.org/debian stable main"
DIAGNOSTICS

mand line.
