You can install over the network using HTTP or FTP. Is the windows 98
box running either a web or ftp server?

[still valid info]
The only hurdle is getting the install machine to load the installer.
There are a few methods, I have found it easiest to burn the first
Fedora CD. You can make a boot CD, but not a boot floopy as the kernel
no longer fits on a single floppy. I use local [same network] http
installs all the time, much faster than CD's.
