how to create single installation file from 2 diskettes?

[Alex]

i found my old simfarm diskettes and installed them... wow i forgot how much this game rocked!!

ok so i was wondering if i could copy them to my HD and zip em or something to install easily on my college rig next week that will have no floppy... thx!

my company used to receive software which came in 42 floppy disks to distribute to about 50 pcs. I just copied all the floppies to one directory and then burned it to a CD. I then ran the setup.exe and when it asked for the next disk I just hit enter and everything was found just fine. good luck

i tried something similar and apparently the directory for each diskette must specifically be "DISK1" and "DISK2" but it doesnt even ask for them! nice!! thx!
