I'm assuming that win98 will be just like win95, if anyone knows better,
share it please.

Do you have some free space to install Linux?  If so, put the boot
floppy in the drive and reboot your machine.  It will boot into the
install process.  Once there, you have to choose the custom install, not
the server or workstation install.  LILO will be installed and you will
be able to use it to boot either Linux or 98.

If you don't have any free space, you'll need to get something like
partition magic to free up some space from win98 or reinstall win98,
leaving some space for Linux.
