Cab Files on 98

I just purchased a Linksys Notebook Adapter for my at home
wireless network. I am working with Win98 1st edition on
a Dell Inspiron 5000 Laptop. My issue is I do not have my
original Windows 98 disk and when loading it asks for
this. I called Linksys and they told me I needed .cab
files, which I could not find on my Dell Laptop. Is there
a download for these files that will allow me to install
my new wireless network card? If not, how do I go about
obtaining a Win98 Disk? Thanks for your help.

There is no download. The best place may be to try ebay

There's no legal download of Win98 as far as I know, and Microsoft
doesn't sell it anymore either.
Some stores still carry it, but most don't.
Ask Linksys which files you need specifically. A lot of the individual
files can be downloaded off the 'net (be careful while doing this, however).
