Subject: W98 install CD

All,

I bought my 100CT a long time ago, when it was being supplied with
W95 on a stack of floppies.

I have now obtained an 'official' Toshiba W98 install CD which I would
like to use to put a totally standard libretto OS on the first 2GB of
a 40GB hard disk (leaving the rest for a real OS).

Problem is my documentation only tells me how to install from floppy, so
I am not sure what Toshiba intended people do with the CD.

Can anyone who has the manuals from a machine that came with the W98
CD mediase tell me what it says about OS re-install?

Regardless of what it says, I am guessing that the easiest approach
is going to be to boot off a floppy to do the partitioning, and them
move the drive into a desktop machine to copy the cabs from the CD
onto the hard disk. Or can I squeeze the necessary boot files onto
a floppy to format the partition and copy the CD contents via a
PCMCIA drive (which presumably would be easier to get going from
a floppy boot than a PCMCIA SCSI card + CD-ROM drive)?

There might also be some useful clues in the instructions about the
procedure and sequence for adding in the Libretto specific drivers.

Regards,
DigbyT
