Hi,

in order to resize your partition, just use qparted.dsl out of the appropriate repository in your mydsl browser.

Another possibility: at boot, type dsl init 2 and then use cfdisk in order to resize and reformate your parititons. FYI - DSL frugal installed only requiers 50M.

Good Luck!
yours

Thanks for your info, but I cannot find qparted.dsl

I think I can't.  Because there's already one partition for win98 which occupies the whole disk and I don't want to re-install it from scratch.

Accordind to http://gparted.sourceforge.net, gparted run from a LiveCD.
Here gparted documentation:
HOW TO RESIZE PARTITION
Other similar tool:
sysresccd

After you get free space for the new partition, will be able to do the hard disk DSL installation. However note there are two methods: Full Installation and Frugal Installation. I recommend you the Frugal Installation.
