Trouble with Laptop Install with NO CD-ROM

["Strazzarino, John" <John_Strazzarino firstdatabank com>]

I'm trying to install Red Hat 7.2 on a laptop with does not have a CD-ROM.

The machine currently is a dual boot with Windows '98 and a 'broken' version
of Linux.

I copied all of the Red Hat 7.2 folders to c:\w98\Redhat\base

I boot from floppy and tell it to do a hard drive install.  It asks for the 
folder for Red Hat and I say 'w98\RedHat\base'  it says that it cannot find
'tmp\hdimage\w98\RedHat\base'.  I moved the files to a folder with that
name, but
still got the same message.  

Also, it is asking for hda1/hda2/hda5.  hda1 is my 'boot manager', hda2 is
windows
and hds5 is my current 'broken' Linux.

Any thoughts, other than dumping the laptop for one with a CD-ROM?
