As for dual booting you can use LILO for dual booting between OSs. Using a third party commercial solution, I have had most excellent experience with System Commander (
http://www.v-com.com/product/sc2_ind.html).
If you go the System Commander route, install it on your Win98 OS first and then install RedHat and telling the installation process to keep the boot record on the partition that you install RedHat on.
System Commander will automatically find the new boot record and allow you to select between Win98 and RedHat.
Of course, don't install RedHat on the same partition that you have Win98 on, that'd be disasterous and you'd curse my name.
System Command is so automated that I once got a free Adaptec 2940UW card and a SCSI drive. I hooked up the SCSI card and drive and System Commander automatically detected that the new drive had Novel Unix and added to the boot list. I was impressed!
