Why you'd want to install win95 on a 486? I don't know. Maybe run win95 programs and games as well as DOS games?
Exactly. Dual Boot here to save the day, and many, many games will work without problems on such a system. Some oldies require Windows, you know, and might refuse to work on newer versions.

Apart from that, it's easy to find decent 95-operating versions of packer/unpacker programs, so that the access to packed archives is far easier.
You don't even need dual boot for Win95. Dos included with 95 is very compatible with 6.22. All you need is to know what are you doing and to find correct drivers, and install them right way.

This weekend I planned to load Win95 on one of mine old computers (P90 or P133), and experiment with some old games that I was not able to play because of speed related problems.
