How to install Windows 98 from USB CD/DVD Drive - Not supported but we found a way!

Installing Windows 98 from USB CD/DVD drive seems pretty straight forward, but because it is based on MS-DOS which doesn't support USB optical drives, it actually doesn't work. However I found a workaround which is pretty straight forward and might help you install Windows 98 on machines that have issues booting from USB flash drives.
