I would make a partition and load up win98. After that is up and running, start the Linux install. It has a section for partitioning the hard drive. Just make sure that it doesn't delete your existing win98(fat32) partition. There are a bunch of questions about that here and other places like The Linux Document Project http://www.tldp.org which has a complete How To section.
