more useful suggestion:
see if your laptop can boot off the DVD-ROM instead of the floppy. get a CD
which you _know for sure_ is bootable, and stick that in your DVD-ROM, turn
your thinkpad on, and see if it works. if it does, just install off the
Win98 CD directly. (if you don't have a bootable Win98 cd, get one.)
if your laptop can't boot off CDs, you're in lots more trouble. i can't
think of a straightforward way of doing it without doing some voodoo magic
or perhaps getting another external PCMCIA CD-ROM drive and modding your
config.sys file to load the proper drivers, etc.
