   If I were you I'd use a much lighter db server that will run on 98 and   
   yet still give you the basics of an RDBMS. I can think of Firebird for   
   example which will AFAIK run on 98, although it's not recommended for   
   production environments  8-).   
      
      
   You could also try PostgreSQL which may run on 98.   
      
      
   How much RAM do you have on this 98 machine?   
      
   Have you considered installing Linux/FreeBSD?

   When asking database related questions, please give other posters   
   some clues, like operating system, version of db being used and DDL.   
   The exact text and/or number of error messages is useful (!= "it didn't   
   work!").   
   Thanks.
