Would you mind explaining now how to make my own kernal on win 98?
Currently, as far as I know, compiling the kernel requires Linux. I don't recommend that you try to install Linux, since that's a whole can of worms all by itself. (Not that Windows isn't a can of worms, it's just... aw, nevermind.)
Someone else on this thread said that it would be theoretically possible to have a cross-compiler that ran under Windows, but I don't know if one exists at the current time.
