If you are planning on installing Windows 98, note that it has been end-of-life by Microsoft (no more product/security updates, and newer software will probably not run on it).
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/default.mspx
According to the install instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;188881&spid=1139&sid=675 , you will need: "120 MB of free hard disk space (typical installation requires approximately 195 MB of free hard disk space, but the required space may vary from 120 MB to 295 MB, depending on your computer's configuration and the options that you choose to install)"

The minimum amount of hard disk space required to install Windows 98 is 120 MB.
The actual requirement varies depending on the features you choose to install. When you save the system files during the installation of Windows 98, the saved system files can take up to 50 MB of additional hard disk space. After Setup is complete, the Setup files are removed from the hard disk. Of the 120 MB required for Setup, approximately 20 MB is then regained as free space.

so hard to remember my best guess would be 300-500mb. Also remember if your trying to watch install space you could do the custom installation does save a bit.

you won't be able to set this to ensue. the in basic terms time hardpersistent area is used a RAM is once you run out of RAM. hardpersistent reminiscence is way, a lot, a lot slower than RAM. there is truly no earnings to this procedure.
