Default running in msdos

I recently acquired a computer with no operating system that boots to a C:\ prompt.

Is there any way to install the program from a floppy and execute it from dos? Or should I look for someone with a Windows 95 CD?

If it has a CD you could run Knoppix...

http://www.knoppix.org/

(Right now the site is blocked for some reason!)

It can use a DOS partition for saving files and for virtual memory...

Of course if you had scrolled down to http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-old-en.html
this link on the front page you could walk in the front door. If you don't understand what is going on scroll to the bottom and follow the link....
