My Own Installation Disk

Hello folks!

Im working at a school as sysadmin asistance, and Im concerned about one thing, and I hope someone will help me out.

The problem:
We are running Windows 98 Second Edition on all of our computers, combined with the Novell 3.21 Client.
Every day one of our computers crashes or simply doesnt work as it should, often we decide to format it and
re-run everything, in here lies the problem.. Right now we have a disk that we call "Inst_Win" with the Windows 98 Second Edition installation etc, this disk is coded by an old employ here who has scripted it to install almost everything needed, it skips all the questions at the installation etc.. I know how to code one of these, but, we need a newer version of that CD, because it's like 2 years old and there's some new updates since then. We've made a computer with all the newest updates for Windows 98 Second Edition and we have fixed that computer to be exactly as we want every other computer to be.

Well for us it would be nice to have a CD who will install Windows 98 Second Edition with all the updates and stuff we have on that computer, now that old employ who had fixed that other disk just told us to "Cab down all the files of the 'ultimate' computer we've made" well that didn't seemed that easy, at least not for me, could anyone describe how to fix a disk like this?

I allready know how to make it skip all the question and install Win98SE in the way that we want it, but not how to make it include all the updates etc.

I would be greatfull for an answer..

Best regards
Viktor Lind
 
What you are trying to do isn't difficult at all, but my first question to
you is why? I am sure you realize MS is going to discontinue support for
WIN98 in the near future, Why don't you just Ghost all your systems with WIN
XP. It is much more stable and conducive to networking than 98 ever could
be.
Just a thought.............
Cheers Doug
