OK, here is what you do.
The problem is, is that win98 setup takes up more base memory than Win95.
Make a win98 bootdisk on a current system, or boot from you r win98 cd. Start the system with cd-rom support. Copy the win98 directory to youyr c: Ie md win98. cd to that directory ie cd\win98 [enter]
type copy e:\win98\*.*
This will copy all the *.cab and setup files from m yuor win98 cd to your hd.
Create a boot disk
edit the config .sys to look like this and copy the following files to your stiffy himem.sys, emm386.exe
edit config.sys
device-=a:\himem.sys
device=a:\emm386.exe
dos=high,umb
This will give you the most available base memory you can have.
Reboot from floppy.
acces c: and cd to win98 directory run
setup /is
If this doesnot work, then nothing will (install linux insstead ;-))
Hope it helps.

redhatuser,

I did that already.
You also wrote..."edit the config .sys to look like this and copy the following files to your stiffy himem.sys, emm386.exe"
edit config.sys
device-=a:\himem.sys
device=a:\emm386.exe
dos=high,umb"
I take it that you meant...device=a:\himem.sys
Are you saying to copy himem.sys and emm386.exe from the bootup disk to the harddrive?
