Assuming that you want to do a clean install on your new machine, you should
be able to install 98 without first installing 95.
IIRC, you can install the win98 upgrade cd straight away.  Format your hard
drive and sys it using you previously prepared boot disk (Win98!) then run
setup as normal from the win98 cd.  It will at some point complain about
being unable to find a valid upgradeable system then give you the option of
pointing to it.  Insert your 95 cd, select that using the browse option then
put the win98 cd back in when asked.  Finally finish installation as normal.

Regards,

Les T
