Lisa;
the boot disk files on the freetech.com site are
"self extracting image files"
You need to place a blank floppy in the A:\ drive of another working
computer
and then execute the file win98se.exe
it will format the floppy and make a boot disk for you.
the image file  won't be bootable.
Full instructions are on the download page on the right side,
