Doing things from raw installer disks is going to take awhile. This is where I'll echo Joseph_Joestar's suggestion of using a CF reader and copying things over that way.
Once you get everything set up, I'd recommend making copies of all installed drivers and programs, along with copies of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS.
I keep a DOS folder set up on my NAS with preinstalled programs, drivers, and games. Plugging in a CF card, it's trivial to copy everything over in a matter of minutes. Saves a lot of time when setting up DOS installs.
