Hi,

The easiest way is to mount the Win98 drive in Linux as, perhaps,
/dos. You can then work with the files just like any on the Linux partition.
as root, do this:
cd /
mkdir /dos
mount -tvfat /dev/hda1 /dos

You can make an entry into your /etc/fstab file like the following
(dba1 is assuming DOS/WIN is on the C: drive, first partition)
so that the /dos partition will be available on bootup.

/dev/hda3       swap                      swap            defaults   0   0
/dev/hdb1       /                            ext2              defaults   1   1
/dev/hda1       /dos                       vfat               defaults   0   0
/dev/hdc        /cdrom                    iso9660         ro,noauto,user 0   0
/dev/fd0        /floppy                     auto              noauto,user 0   0

Note that Linux will read and write (given adequate permissions) DOS and
Windows files just fine. Windows can't reciprocate, unfortunately.
