No, install will not start by itself from the CD and the CD is not bootable
(Some OEM ones are )
If you booted from a floppy with CD Rom support then at the A:> prompt type
in the following
"CDROM drive letter":\win98\setup Note"CDROM drive letter" will be
something like E or R
If you already have windows running then use explorer and go to the win98
folder on the CD and double click on setup.exe
