36788 2002-02-23 15:53:00 If you can get our hands on a Windows 98 boot disk it has 3 Options:

1) Start Windows 98 Set-up

2) Something without CD-Rom support.

3) Something with CD-Rom support.

So you could just pick the 3rd option, and then manually call the installation from the dos prompt.

ex: D:\setup


Email me, or post back here, and I can send you the files if you would like them, and them and then just put them on a floppy and then everything should work.

Hope that helps.
