I would say loose the EMM386 line but keep the himem.sys line. Windows has to have himem.sys loaded, which it does automatically now, but you can never be too careful with microsoft products.

you don't need config.sys file in win 98... only if you are running in dos mode. Leave it alone it's not hurting anything and you may just want to use DOS Mode someday
