install win98 without cd rom

[tymani]

hello to all. I'm trying to install (from DOS)win98 OS on an older IBM Thinkpad. The Cdrom is not working. How can I install from the floppy frive? Or through the pcmcia slot connected to an external cdrom? any suggestions would be great. Thanx

You can copy the Win98 files over a Windows network with a network client for DOS copied on a bootable floppy.

I doubt that you are able to find any DOS drivers for that PCMCIA slot.
