I am trying to install Win98 for a network share. I keep receiving a "largest executable program size" error. The hard drives are formatted and repartitioned. I even copied the Win98 folder to the hard drive and still receive the same error.

It seems to me that if you're getting an error like this at a DOS level then you might have some sort of memory problem. The Largest Executable Program Size is based on a correct report of how much memory the system thinks is available. This report comes from a physical count through the memory registers. If what is counted and what is only actually available due to some defect then an error like this would be generated when the W98 setup program is run...try different RAM...
