DN> > Does w98 have bootable cd option? Is the cd bootable?

DN> Yes, the Windows 98 CD is bootable but your computer BIOS must allow

DN> To boot from CD you might want to move it to first place, 3.5" flopp
DN> second place and HD to third place.

OEM CD's are not bootable. These are the one's usually supplied with a 
newly made clone or purchased over the counter. They come with boot 
floppys. Win98C is the only bootable 9x disk that I know of. It is 
supplied with newly purchased systems from a major mfgr.
