Your likely to have problems finding it.Win98 would need dozens upon dozens
of disks for the installation programs.

Stay with win95 or get a CD rom drive

Your only (mighty slim) chance of getting W98 on floppies might be EBay or
another auction site. Only the first edition of W98 came on floppies--the
W98SE .cab files are too large to fit. Concur with Jon--stick with W95.
Laptops often will not work right unless you have a W98 system that was
specifically built for that laptop.
