In this method, Windows 98 is installed using the CD-ROM, much the same way one
would install Windows 98 into a real computer with no operating system. This

Image</title> <para>Since this second method involves installing from the Windows 98
CD-ROM, you will speed things up considerably if you put an image of this
disc on you hard drive. These days, some computers are shipped with "Recovery
Disks" that have the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) label on the MS
Windows 98 disk. In these cases, it is not always easy to tell which CD-ROM
contains the operating system. These types of disks may or may not work for
this purpose; more than likely it will be problematic. Make sure you have a
disk that is labeled "Windows 98" with the Microsoft logo. You will find the
product key on the "Certificate of Authenticity" provided to you by Microsoft.
This can be either on the aqua/purle/white book titled <emphasis>Microsoft
Windows 98: Getting Started</emphasis>, or on your PC. You may also find it in
the CD-ROM packaging. The product key is in sqaurish typeset next to a bar code.

Under Linux, insert your Windows 98 CD in your CD-ROM drive. Make a directory called <emphasis>win98</emphasis> under your home directory. Copy the image using the <emphasis>dd</emphasis> command:

Since you can select what components you want with MS Windows and which ones
you do not, you have the option of having a slim installation that requires
less disk space. The actual Windows portion can be as little as 150 megabytes.
If you only plan to run Microsoft Word plus a couple of programs,
one Gigabyte will be more than sufficient.</para>
<para>
It is recommended that you put your office and personal files on a separate image.
This allows for easier backup and restoration of your installation as you go along.
