it is only necessary if you do so the first time. after that, in the folder c:\windows\command a new folder appears, called ebd. This folder contains the necessary files for future creating of bootdisks.

Hello

You can get a very good W98 Boot Disk from here (842KB). After having downloaded it, insert a good & fresh formated diskette [Open My Computer, click_R on Floppy (A)>Format>Full ]in your A drive, run  WIN98SE.exe to install the needed files. This W98 Boot Disk will assign R as drive letter for your CD-ROM, so you need to type at the A:\> prompt as bellow:

A:\>R:

R:\>setup

Good luck.
Stefan
