Your CD writing software will do it. Roxio and Nero both do it anyway, have a look in the help. It prompts you to put in a floppy with the boot disk of your choice.

I'm making you an image now. Are you able to ftp it from my machine? It'll be at half ADSL speed ie 256Kb/s but it's better than nothing I guess.

Regards,

Mark

Edited to add: emailed you with details of where you can get the image. Let me know when you've done with it and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Edited again to add - it is an entire image of a windows 98 cd... that was what you wanted wasn't it?
