Copy the Win98 folder with all the Cab files from the CD to the drive.
Boot with a 98 boot disk.
At the prompt type the drive with the Win98 folder and press Enter.
Change directories if needed to the path where the folder is and press Enter.
Type setup.exe and press Enter.

Example if you placed the folder on D:\98setup.

d:\
cd d:\98setup
setup.exe

When asked how to install, select custom to select the drive.

When installing 98 after XP for a dual boot system, you will need to do a
little work editing files. It's always recommended to install 98 before XP.
See the dual boot section here for info:
