I'm not sure you can do that with a Win98 box, unless
you're using an FTP server software on the Win98 box. Try
downloading a shareware FTP client and see if you can get
it up and running on the Windows machine. If that works,
make the Network Install disk (there should be a disk image
and a dos util to create the floppy) and select "FTP
install." Should work fine as long as you permit FTP into
your Windows box.
