Not really. Win95 was available on 3.5" floppies but haven't seen such a set around in quite awhile. Several years ago I was given a set of the Upgrade disks [13 disks] but I never used it so don't know if a Key is needed to install. A full installation may have more disks in the set.

What I have done is such a situation is dump the files from the CD onto a Zip100 disk then using a Parallel port Zip Drive and DOS drivers copy them to the HDD then install from there. The Win95 Folder on the CD is only 34MB in size and has a Setup.exe file in it.

Depending upon which version of Win95 CD you have, this may work:
