W2K on a 486?

Comment:
I have a 486 laptop with W95 installed. It only has 16mB of memory. Two questions:
Q1. Can I successfully install W2000 over W95 and will it run ok on a 486? There is about 60mB free disc space at the moment but if I delete the W95 Cabs there will be about 130mB free.
Q2. How do I install W2K when the laptop only has a floppy disc port.
Note: The LT has a PCMIA port but I don't have a card for it. Could this be the best way though?

Forget win2k....MS requires 128 Mo Ram to install it.
