Not likely to get win98 working on that machine.

If the games don't run on win2k you could try running them on Wine (in
Linux)

Or as suggested elsewhere, install win98 in a virtual machine

Thanks to both of you. Quality advice is wonderful to receive!

It makes me a little sad to think that Win98 is a no-hoper on my flash
new kit (Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H by the way, 1GB DDR2). I shall try
the wine route - I have failed many times along it - but not the
Virtual PC one as I am running (defunct?) W2000 not XP, etc.

I am also having troubles installing/running-live Linuxes on this new
kit as well. I thought these woes were related but can see many
other reasons why they probaly aren't.

Thanks again.
