My Windows 98 machine won't boot up.I want to rescue some files from the machine. How can I do this using Cool Linux Live CD 1.35 or using Knoppix Live CD? I want to transfer the files to another PC (Win2K/RH 8.0) over a network card. Thanks

Boot off your live CD.
Log in as root (as only root normally has the permission to mount things).
Make a temp directory to mount your windoze partition in: # mkdir /mnt/windows
Mount your hard drive: # mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows (NB hda1=first partition on primary master IDE, hda2=the second partition if there is one etc. hdb refers to primary slave, hdc=secondary master, hdd=secondary slave. If you have one hard drive with windows on in your PC it's probably hda1).
You should now be able to copy the directory and contents: # cp -R /mnt/windows /path/to/copy/to
