How do you install win 98 using ms dos
If you want to do an install from cdrom:
Boot to a boot floppy, and insert cdrom
then browse to cdrom and type setup.exe
OR boot directly to cdrom
That will take you to a GUI to install the rest.
If you wanted to script it... it'd be a lot more work, but still possible.

It is a great resource. I know it is kind of pricy at amazon... but check around a bit. I found it at Boarders for US $3.99 or some crazy price like that.
i dont have a floppy drive
Do you have a USB flash drive?
You can boot to one of those. Change the options in the BIOS.
Is your cdrom bootable?
Boot to the CD directly, just change the options in the BIOS to do so.
If you have access to dos, then browse to cdrom and run setup.exe
Which are you trying to install? 95 or 98? You have put 95 in the title, then 98 in the message...
A little more info about your system would be nice, so we don't have to play the 1000 ?'s game...
