Isn't there a DOS utility that will allow you take a chunk of your
DOS partition and make it available to Linux. I think it is called 
cfdisk. I think you have to free up space on your drive for linux. If
you don't want Windows 98 than just fdisk it and than Linux will use all
the free space for it's partition.
