Thanks Anne.  Here's a small update...

This time around, I got to the next step of choosing the drive (and
many other options for partitioning), and again I stopped...just to be
safe. There were two tabs ("hda" and "hdb"), and the second tab did
look like the 20 GB drive I want to install Mandrake onto (it said "18
GB", and Win98/Fat32, etc., which did describe pretty accurately my 20
GB drive). However... The first tab ("hda") looked peculiar. It said
"Empty", then "7.8 MB", and a couple other things which seemed to
indicate that it wasn't recognizing my 80 GB drive. Why would the
installation not see this properly? Should I even worry about this if
I'm quite sure of "hdb" being my 20 GB drive?

In any event, I'm going to do more reading in the starter guide and
also look at more online tutorials, then I think I'll still have my
tech friend come here to supervise my installation. I guess I just
don't feel quite enough confidence yet to do this entirely by myself.

Thanks for you help.  I'll be back! :-)
