Ok, here is the way that I would do it.
Start with a boot floppy from a Windows 98 (or Win95b) computer
and copy fdisk onto it, then boot from the floppy and use fdisk
to make one partition of 6 gig. Then reboot and format the
partition, ignore the free space for know. You need for it be
eithe Win 98 or (or Win95b) to be able to use the Fat32. Then
copy the [CDROM]\win98 directory to something like [C:\win98cab]
and then procede to install windows 98 from the hardrive, the
[C:\win98cab] directory. This will keep you from having to insert
the stupid CDROM everytime you make a change in something.
Then after you get windows all setup the way you like it just
procede to boot off the Redhat 6.1 boot disk. Select the "Install
GNOME Workstation" (or whatever you want to install, other than
the custom (the custom does not hadle the rest for you, you have
to do it manually) then let the installer do its magic when you
are done you will have two labels at the LILO boot prompt, linux
and dos. Entering dos at the LILO prompt will continue to boot
windows.
You can configure LILO to default to windows at the boot if you
so like.
HTH,
Later..
