How to install Windows 98 without using a floppy disk drive

If you're reading this... no you didn't go back in time 15+ years.

I had to install Windows 98 to one of my computers, because my video capture card only has drivers for Windows 95 and Windows 98.  It had been so long since I've installed Windows 98, I forgot that the Windows 98 installation CD is not bootable.  I didn't think I had a floppy disk (even though that computer had a floppy disk drive), so here's how I installed Windows 98 instead:

1) Download Knoppix (http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html) and create a Knoppix CD

2) Create a Windows 98 boot CD from here: https://staff.washington.edu/curreri/windows-98-boot-cd-download-this-iso/

3) Boot my computer to the Windows 98 boot CD, repartition and format your hard drive to FAT32.  Use the format /s switch to copy the system files to the c drive.

4) If you only have 1 CD drive, boot to Knoppix, and copy the Windows 98 installation CD to the "C drive", which was mounted at /mnt/sda1 or /dev/sda1 for me.  You can use scp to copy the Windows 98 installation CD to your "C drive".  If you have 2 CD drives, you can skip the Knoppix step, and just change to the R or S drive (which should be the other CD drive) on steps 7 and 7.

5) Boot to the Windows 98 boot CD if you currently have Knoppix up.

6) Change to C drive by typing in "c:" at the DOS prompt (or change to the R or S drive)

7) Run the setup.exe Windows 98 install program
