I'm at the point where the previous windows installation contains the 
previous previous windows installation which contains the previous 
previous previous dos installation and that in turn contains some stuff 
that was written on a pc xt and transferred by 3.5" diskettes. And I have 
two cp/m floppies somewhere which cannot be read. All this lives in a 
unmounted partition under linux or whatever I'm running now. And I lost a 
lot of stuff in previous crashes and system changes, when media was not so 
easy to copy.
