Linux installation

I want to install a slackware version of linux. I only have one hard disk and in my computer i have already installed windows xp. I have left a lot of free space for linux but in the installation i have to create some partitions for the linux. Which partition should i create? Should i do this through windows?
Thanks in advance.
 

Re: Linux installation

You create linux swap partition(above 256MB) and Linux native partition (size your own choice) and file system Ext3 or riserFs.

Linux's partitions have no names as in DOS.

All devices are represented as files on Linux. So, first partition of first drive will be /dev/hda1 , second /dev/hda2 ...
