Getting a virtual machine running with Win95 is rather involved
because the install CDs don't boot(and you need a product ID
key, no 30 days grace). After finding a boot floppy image for
DOS and getting win95 to load, the networking didn't work for me
(and the network support tools are creaky). After getting that
going I'm stuck with a 640x480 window and no way of making that
larger.

The window size problem is a problem of VirtualBox, not a problem
of virtual machines in general. Unlike VMware, VirtualBox does
not have guest additions for Win9x.

True there are no guest additions available to Win9x virtualbox
machines, but the recommended video driver from SciTech solves the
window size issue and comes on a convenient .iso file that can be
loaded simply into the virtual machine.

Still working on the browser, thanks!

Amazing that there are available files of lots of win9x install
..iso's on't interweb, also that the product keys are also easy to
find, although some trial and error was necessary (on my part).
