Actually I have figured out what is wrong but my solution is not sufficient
for my needs.
I have made some free space for linux on my 2nd hard drive but the setup
keeps telling me "BOOT PARTITION TOO BIG"  - which is resolved by installing
the linux root onto the same hard drive as win98.  But I want to put it on
my 2nd drive as my 1st is running out of space.  Is there a solution for
this?!?!?
