If your Win98 system shows the correct time and has the timezone properly set 
for the UK, then your PC clock is probably running on "local time". The 
settings you need in /etc/sysconfig/clock should therefore be:

ZONE="Europe/London"
UTC=false
ARC=false

and your /etc/localtime should be a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London

See if that helps.
