    I have also tried it with linux and works good
    it does install like vmware but it has no frontend so it all command line typing
    to get it up and running

    How I install windows 98se
    step 1.
    open command prompt cd location of install of qemu
    create vitural disk first (YOUR HARD DRIVE)
    qemu-img create disk1.ing 1G (THIS WILL CREATE A 1 GIG DISK)

    step 2
    made a image of windows 98se boot disk I used winimage
    save the image as win98boot.img in the same location of qemu

    step 3.
    in command prompt
    qemu -L . -m 128 -hda disk1.img -fda win98boot.img -boot a

    -L . means load up the bios in the current working directory
    -m give the virtual machine 128m of ram

    -hda disk1.img the harddisk you will be using
    -fda win98boot.ing floppy disk will be using
    -boot tell qemu what to boot from a = floppy c =harddisk d=cdrom

    if you know linux these commands will be second nature to you

    step 4:
    if all went well you should booted into windows 98 se boot disk
    A:>
    now run fdisk and create a primary partition for you drive
    close down qemu and restart with the same command
    qemu -L . -m 128 -hda disk1.img -fda win98boot.img -boot a

    at the A:>
    type format c:

    step 5:
    create iso image of windows 98se cdrom I used winiso
    if anybody knows a free program cd to iso let me know
    I have nero but cant find option for creating iso.
    save the iso image as win98cd.iso in the same location of qemu
    then run qemu again
    qemu -L . -m 128 -hda disk1.img -fda win98boot.img -cdrom win98cd.iso -boot a

    step 6: To install windows 98se
    at the A:>
    type
    mkdir c:\win98
    d:
    cd win98
    copy *.* c:\win98 (to copy all cabs files you will need later)
    c:
    cd win98
    setup
    install windows as usual

    step 7:
    when install is finished close the qemu
    then open qemu
    qemu -L . -m 128 -hda disk1.img
    and windows 98se should finished the install
    be patient because the install takes longer the usual

    good luck
