If you are currently running Windows (admittedly I did this on a desktop and I dunno how transferable this is) you can use Partition Magic to partition drives, it's a bit fiddly in places but once you get the hang of it isn't too bad. It will additionally set up swap spaces and stuff, and/or complain if you don't give Linux any. This is however pay-software, so you may wish to look for something that you don't have to pay for / use illegally. It does have some sort of boot driver that you can use if you download, but I found it easier to use one of the ones on the RedHat disk. --Slosh
