Oh god, the horror of installing an OS from floppy.

God knows how many floppies Novell netware came on but it was a lot.

And OS/2 Warp, I had OS/2 Warp (and 2.1 IIRC) on 3.5" disks first, before buying the CD-ROM version later. Apparently Warp + Bonus pack was 35 disks.

In comparison: Windows 95 was only 13 disks [1].

Fascinating. A copy of Netware 3.11 on 14 3.5" floppies goes for $699 on eBay:

That one did not "go". Someone is trying to get that much money for it.

Yeah. I can remember installing NT 3.1 from floppy and if I recall correctly, it was 22 or 24 floppy disks. Felt like watching paint dry.
