So long as you dont do anything to the partition that win98 is
on, then there is nothing that will affect it. The only thing
you would do with the win98 patition is install the Linux boot
manager LILO. This in itself will not harm win98, it just wont
let you boot into win98 untill you tell LILO that win98 exists,
edit the /etc/lilo.conf file to do so.
