Personaly for a setup of 98 I would do the following using a 98 cd or floppy to boot.

1. fdisk the drive and reboot
2. format the drive " format c: /s "
3. create a folder on the c drive and call it win98
4. copy the windows setup directory to the win98 folder.
5. Reboot with no disks or cd's inserted and you will be given a dos prompt.
6. chnage to the win98 folder
7. Run setup.

The above has two advantages.

1. Windows installs faster as it does not have to read if the cd.
2. All the cab files are available so windows will never ask for the cd when installing drivers ect.
