FWIW: i always make the partitions first... then, for win9x, i
format the drive and then copy the win9x directory off the CD on
to the harddrive into /options/win9x where the 'x' is '5', '8',
or '8se' depending on the version i'm installing... then i remove
the CD from the CDROM drive and the floppy from the floppy
drive... then a quick 'cd /options/win9x' and 'setup' get
everything going and loading _from the hardrive_... leave this
options/win9x directory /on the drive/ and when you add or remove
things that would normally ask for the CDROM disk, it won't as it
will know to look right in that directory where you installed it
from...
