Hi
Yes you can.
Check these sites for some info or do a search on google:

I do have another method to do this. I will not waste time
explaining it if you don't want it. But I can have Windows
98 on a non-partitioned, non-formatted drive in less than
15 minutes. 3 minutes longer and I can include Office. And
with this way it runs on multiple systems. Any hardware
works. Still interested? Mail me.

If you will install the Resource Kit Sampler from your
Windows 98 install CD you get a program that will
record all your current settings and apps into a file
called msbatch.inf. This file when invoked with
setup.exe will install windows98 'hands off'. In other
words you don't touch anything until it's time to log
in with your new user name and password for Windows log
on.
D:\tools\reskit\setup.exe is the installer for the
resource kit sampler installer. Once installed,
C:\Program Files\Reskit\BATCHS.EXE is the program that
makes msbatch.inf file. You'll need to enter your CD
Key in order to avoid having to do that at install time,
and you'll also have to avoid making an EBD or startup
disk to be truely hands off. A bug causes msbatch.inf
to not be copied to the Windows folder during install
and Windows tries to use it from there so if you don't
precopy it before the install you get AOL, etc even if
you clearly state that you don't want it. Good luck.
