The mouse is a built in touch pad, but the computer sees it as a generic PS2 2 button mouse.

I tried his at the boot prompt: lowram legacy vga=normal dosswapfile

and I just got a glimmer of hope... There's a window on the screen... Still booting... and it's the getting started with DSL screen in a browser. I think we have a winner!

Thanks!!!

Edit got the hd install done. Win95 is gone. Thanks!

I'm not sure if 16 MB is enough to boot into graphical login. You could try "dsl 2" (without quotes) at the boot prompt and then do a hard disk install (including a swap partition).

Roberts, you can use mem=16M at the boot prompt to simulate 16 MB memory.
