My memory says that win3.1 came on just 7 floppies. Did you install from 5.25 floppies?

Maybe 7 feels like 40 when you're 13.

40 is for Win95. Around 20+ for Warp 4.

I installed ESIX (Everex's SysV Unix) off of 40-something 3.5" floppies in the mid 90s. Naturally there were a couple of bad disks and the installation sat partially done for a few days while I awaited replacements to arrive in the mail.

Good one. I guess I had win 3.1 and upgraded to 95

IFMMSMV CD distr of '95 was around 48Mb, '98 (SE2 ?) around 100-110. With a bit of knowledge you could shrink the installed one to 35 and and 52 respectively.

Source: had a 486 with 40+120Mb HDDs
