Yeah, there is more description in the user guide. More details than a
single word per icon. It doesn't state though what is the default here
for this part that it starts with. Or what is the most common
sequence.

I do got it going now. The CD can start up now.

I do notice that on the Windows 98 Setup screen, the window Windows 98
Setup, which it starts off with, saying:

"Welcome to Windows 98 Setup

Congratulations on choosing...
"

is in a very hard to read font. Compare for you?

Ah. That explains my ease of missing it entirely. I was looking at
either the links on the far left or on the right. But actually, so you
need to be looking in the middle in a drop-down menu. I would
associate 'Publications' with magazines, periodicals, and maybe news
releases.
