I don't think 8 diskettes will be enough: it was Win-3.1, that used
8 diskettes.

Win98SE can be installed using ca.70 (seventy) diskettes. You can use PkZIP to
pack the whole Win98 folder from CD to the multiple diskettes, then unzip
(using PkUnzip) this folder from the diskettes to HDD, and install Win98SE
from the unzipped folder.

Other than the method mentioned by Mikhail, you cannot make floppy disks
that install in the traditional sense because the .cab files in SE are too
large for a floppy disk. W98 FE's .cab files are smaller and will fit on a
floppy.
