Hei
How much space is not much. I suppose that one thing you should find out
is how much space you need for win98.
If I were in your position I would download and use some parted root/boot disks.
(note your linux should include parted but I always use the boot/root disk version)
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk/partboot.img
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk/partroot.img
Read a little about parted:
http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~aclausen/parted-talk/
I would then boot with parted and change the partitions on your disk to make space for
win 98.
Install win 98 in the newly created partition.
Reboot with parted.
mount the partion that contains your linux installation and the /boot directory if you
have
the boot stuff in a separate partition.
chroot /DIRECTORY_LINUX_MOUNTED_ON /bin/bash
then fiddle with grub or lilo so that they can boot the win98.
umount the linux partition.
control-d to leave the chroot environment.
Reboot and you should be able to see win98 as a choice in lilo or grub.
Take your time and make sure that you feel confident about what you are doing b4 you
start.
No doubt others will suggest other methods. Read those suggestions b4 you go on as
this is one way to do what you want - not the only or best.
