>nope, none of that.
>well, NT gives a method to RPLing ( Remote Procedure Load ) a dos client in which the client can be a diskless node. I know its possible for Win95 upgrade version i.e. a client machine need no have any hard disk but still load Win95 stored in the Windows NT server. Some how i don't find any documentaion for RPLing with WIN'98

I haven't checked to see if diskless setup is supported under Win98 (AFAIK, you need a local hard drive froma quick look in the Win98RK), but if it is supported, it'd be much the same thing - create a DOS boot disk with the appropriate NDIS client, and point to a shared directory on the NT Server. Set up the necessary pathing, go to the shared Windows directory and run WIN. You'd need to set some environment variables to assign a unique temp file location, and I have no clue about what will happen with swap files; I'd really hesitate to put the Win98 swap file on the network.

I'd suggest looking at the Win98 Resource Kit.
