I would like to install Windows 95 from the network on some old computers. How do I create a boot disk that maps to an NT Server using TCP/IP as the protocol to a shared installation files for Windows 95.

It has been a long time sense I used 95 , but I don't think the bootdisk made with 98 will operate properly as it uses the fat differently , try making a disk using the way 98 makes it , but with 95 drivers , as the methodology and Dos calls are similar.
Luck, and wait for more responces as usually there are a lot of folks who have done it.

Use Network Client Administrator. I would follow the step in the NT Server books available.(I have a book study guide written by M. Strebe, C. Perkins, J. Chellis.) If you select "Network Installation Startup Disk". Basicly each client OS gets a unique floppy disk for each client you want to install. If you have a number to do, you may want to consider using "Installation Disk Set" for the specific OS you select. This set can be used many times.
