HI rachel 

  Well basicly u can do this two ways, repartition(split) your HD u
currently have now into 4 partitions,with a drive partition software (1)
Win98(yuk) (2)backup for win / programs etc (3) Main Linux Partition (4)
Linux swap File (around 200MB swap file)  and Install Boot from your Linux
CD Install linux onto 3 and 4

But the MOST easiest WAYS  is to  go get DSL linux burn the image onto a CD
and boot from that CD,,    it will not interfere with any of your WIN98
Stuff 

    It runs from the CD u may not like linux,
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/      go here to get DSL   linux     I can
help u set it up    I love it

Greetings All,

I am a Linux wannabee.

I would like to put Linux on an old Pentium 2 computer, which currently has
Windows 98 on it now. I would like to keep the Windows 98, and thus have 2
operating systems on the computer.

Does anyone have any recommendations of an easy way for me to install Linux
on this computer from the Internet?

As I understand it, there are Linux freeware programs on the Internet. I
also understand there are several different versions of Linux. At this
point, I would like to find the easiest way to install a good Linux program
from the Internet. Any suggestions?

Best Wishes
Rachel
