[newbie] Very simple question on Partitioning

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

I am a VERY new newbie in Linux. I have installed 7.1 using the windows
install successfully, but I feel that it doesn't give Linux "free rein"
and thus am going to attempt a complete install on its own partition.

When I run the complete instal, what do I have to tell it about the
partitions that it will make?

I have a 13 GB HD, and am currently running Win98. I would ideally like
to have 8GB for windows, and 4GB for Linux (or may be 7 and 6 as I don't
use a lot of storage-hungry apps)

Many thanks

Gordon
