All you need to do is rename your WIN.COM file found in the
C:\Windows  directory.  Typically, when I would do this, I would
rename the file to Win.bob and then start my install of Windows98.

You can do this in Windows, then shutdown and boot from a floppy
disk with CD support...  then just run setup on the Win98 CD.
