I have found it is not uncommon to be prompted for the system disk, epxecially in Win98, when configuring a PC for the network. I was just wondering if there are any resources or compilation type CDs out there that would have all the networking component software on them for various windows operating systems just in case the original system disks are not available?

One way is to copy the cab files to your system. Create a DIR called c:\win98 and copy all the cab files there. than when it asks you for the CD just point to that DIR.

I suggest that you create a CD with the .cab files in appropriate folders for each version of Windows that you support.

For W98, there are 14 pages for W98, and another 14 for W98 SE, listing what files are in which .cab files on the W98 CD.
