	We often strive to do things `right'. I feel that this dooms
us in the installation phase, because installation requires
hackery. Every general solution we come up with will be stymed by
something.

	Custom versions for specific laptops. If you buy a laptop with
Win95 on it, the version of Win95 on the drive (and likely on the
"recovery" CD as well) is tuned specifically for that brand and
model. Unfortunately, this gives us no insight on how we might go
about doing this automatically - although perhaps someone could be
inspired to create a tool that can extract the information we need
from the Win95 installation, and allow us to get some leverage from
the information.
