I doubt this will work. The Win98 install routine is designed & programmed to work
from the CD. If you did split the CD onto floppies, you would have to know exactly
which files go on which floppy AND some Win98 CD install files are too big for a
floppy. (Install from floppies can be done with Win95 however).
If you are able to link the laptop to another PC/laptop with a CD, yo could copy
the \Win98 folder from the Win98 CD onto the hard drive of your laptop and install
from there. (The file transfer can be done with a program like LapLink -DOS version).
Last, are you sure the laptop has enough memory, drive space for Win98?
