yes but will be extremly hard
Installed over Windows 98? If you want to install Linux OVER Windows 98, you’ll have to use the Linux CDs to format the drive and then you can install Linux. If you mean you want both Windows 98 and Linux on the same drive, Linux should be able to partition the drive and then you will be able to install Linux on the new partition and then you will be able to boot into Windows 98 or Linux. That being said, a 2GB hard drive is not much space to play with so even if you did partition it… that may not be enough space for the default install of Linux so either, you’d have to remove some features or as I said, format the drive and only use Linux.
Modern versions of Linux (be it SuSE, Mandriva, Red Hat/Fedora, etc.) that are designed for GUI addicts (absolutely no insult is intended by the term "GUI addicts") all tend to help the gentle user partition (or repartition) the current hard drive(s) in the computer upon which Linux is being installed. Thus, it is possible to install Linux ‘over’ or ‘along side’ a Windows installation.
However, modern MS-Windows-user friendly versions of Linux are much too large to squeeze onto a 2GB hard drive (especially if the 2GB must be shared with an iteration of MS-Windows).
