It depends on how new your Linux is.
Recent kernels (2.0.3x -- .34 and later, I think) can include support for
vfat partitions. If you have it, just mount your Win98 partition under Linux
and copy the files over. (You may have vfat support as an uninstalled
module, in which case you'd have to modify your modules installer - details
vary by distribution so I can't be more specific - to install vfat support.)
If your Linux kernel doesn't support vfat partitions at all, the easiest way
(admittedly inelegant, but easy nonetheless) is to copy the files to a
floppy under Win98, reboot into Linux, mount the floppy under Linux, and
copy the files to wher you need them on your linux filesystem. This ssumes
they are small enough to fit on a floppy ... but any image you are putting
on a Web page should be small enough, right?
Finally, I recall reading months ago that someone has written an app that
would mount ext2 partitions under Win9x, but I don't recall the URL. If you
could find that, it would be a third possible approach.
