Windows 3.11 install

I'm presently fixing an older PC for a friend of mine... I want to put Windows 3.11 on it, I have the software, but here's the problem... I have them backed up on another PC and they are all in one directory. I have no idea which files should be on each of the 8 install floppy disks. Is there anywhere I can get a list of which files are supposed to be on which disk? I've been hunting for hours now, and I'm running out of options and patience. ;-)

Open up Packing.lst in MS DOS Editor, it has the list of the files that are reqired on each disk.
