copy the Windows setup CD's \WIN95 directory onto your computer's hard drive across the network, boot with a floppy that has the DELTREE.EXE file copied onto it, deltree all of the computer's other directories, then run setup.exe from the hard drive. If you keep the \WIN95 directory name, the computer will always look there for setup files just as if you were installing from CD.

The only downside is that you need about 60MB for the setup files -- assuming OSR2, or about 35MB for the original OEM release or CD upgrade (though you can always delete 'em later after all of your drivers are set up).
