You sure can ask some vague questions.
...and AGAIN:
a **LINK** is appreciated so that I don't have to Google it myself.

You seem to be asking if I am going to second-guess Microsoft
about how to install Microsoft Windows 98.

Fact is, I don't find microsoft.com to be especially user-friendly
and I find this site to be more usable: 
cache of http://www.windowsreinstall.com/win98/install98cd/indexfullpage.htm

Here's the pre-flight: 
cache of http://installchecklist.windowsreinstall.com


You DO realize that at this point
you are going to need a non-update CD to do this.  Right?

You DO have all your updated device drivers downloaded
and copied to removeable media.  Right?
