With the Windows CD in the drive , open Windows 
Explorer and drag the win98 folder from the CD
onto the "C" drive.....
Some folks make a special folder for it beforehand...
Mine is called WinCabs....
You could then drag the win98 folder into that , and 
it will copy all the cab files there for you.

The next time you need to access the win98 cd for
something like adding a windows component or
setting up some new hardware , when windows asks
for the disk ,you just use the "Browse" button and
piint it to that folder on your hard drive.
After doing this once ,Wndows will remember the 
location ,and go there automatically the next time.
