Full details are in the README7.TXT file in the top directory of your
CD-ROM. The short version:

After logging in as "root" but before running "setup," use cfdisk to
create Linux native and swap partitions.
(I prefer fdisk myself)

Here's an example of a hard disk that is ready to use:

--
Disk /dev/hda: 15 heads, 62 sectors, 899 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 930 * 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 71 32984 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda2 72 899 385020 83 Linux native
--

When you enter the setup program, the Linux swap will automatically be
recognized and configured. In my simple example, /dev/hda2 will be the
root ("/") partition.
