I couldn't have made myself clear - the Win 95 disc wouldn't install for the update to work on.
Can I borrow a Win 98 CD and use the key for the duff '95 CD? (Thinking that all keys might be an algorithm.)

Install off the Win 98 update CD and it will ask you for the CD of a qualifying product during the install, at which point you use the Win 95 CD (or as Wayne said you work out how to fake a Win 95 install so the Win 98 CD installs without asking).
No-no-no-no-no-no-no!
The Win 95 CD doesn't work!
I have two 98 updates, but you can't update an non-existent OS.
I mean a clean install of Win 98...
(To return to topic shortly, I've just reinstalled Woody, and been congratulated, but I can't make it work. I can't make Python even recognise the Linux partitions already on the HD.. Questions to follow, you may - or probably may not - be pleased to hear.)
