Heh? THAT'S OLD?!?!? I've got a 486! :-)
You know what, though, if you're a newbie, here's what you should do, for
partitioning:
10MB Linux native (Mount Point: /boot)
3.9GB Linux native (Mount Point: /)
.1GB Linux swap (Swap Partition)
AFAIK, the Linux swap partition is limited to about 128 MB, so you're
going to want to create more swap partitions if they're more than about
120MB per.
(I say 120 because depending on the C/H/S setup, you could actually
request 120MB for a partition and get 124 or 128MB... it's not uncommon.)
