to be creative can mean, i.e., to extract the hd from your panasonic Toughbook (it not so easy. I've tried myself and it took time. it's not called Toughbook for nothing). then, with an adapter from laptop hd to desktop hd (it can cost from 1 to 5 dollars in ebay, or get it from a friend), you can insert the hd in a desktop pc. then either you resize the win 98 partition and in the free space you can create another partition (doesn't really matter if fat or ext2 partition, the type is not so important in this case) and make a frugall install in it from the live cd (always from the desktop pc). once you finalize the process, put the hd back in the laptop and this should work.
This is what I did, but I did a normal install instead of frugall (but I changed my mind and now I prefer frugall). You may consider freeing space in your win 98 partition, before doing this all, because, even if it's not technically compulsory, it would be very wise to create a swap partition of about the double of you ram (so 64 M) to make your laptop work better.
In any case don't forget to defrag your pc before resizing or creating partitions.
hope this helps:)
