Choose the one you want for install, and make a partition for /home (so that if you get any data on it you will be able to re-install or upgrade without losing your data). I assume that since it is a whole disk you probably have plenty of room? Allocate 512MB to swap and create one bit ext3 partition for the rest. Mandrake will take care of everything else.
I am soon going to try what Melissa is trying, so please bear with me for a moment. Are you saying simply to create a 512 MB partition named /home to store data in, as the 1st step during the installation? The "one bit ext3 partition for the rest" is a little confusing for me, so would you mind just going over that for a moment?
The 512 MB partition is for swap. The /home should be somewhat bigger, as it is where you store most of your data - actual size depends on the size of your hard disk. I assume that 'one bit...' is a typo and should read 'one big...'!
Margot PS Please unset your reply-to - thanks.
