Another friend of mine told me - from a message board, that I have to 
create the linux partitions manually, when I'm in the partitioning 
phase.This is what I want Linux to have on my 13.42GB worth of 
unallocated space:

/dev/hdb1 - boot: (don't know, please specify reconmended amount)
/dev/hdb2 - root: 12.91GB
/dev/hdb3 - swap: 512MB

I've already created a 14.52GB to share files between the two operating 
systems such as Windows XP Pro and Fedora Core 3 Linux. The problem is, 
where and how can I create those partitions when I'm in the manual 
installation phase of my installation?

If you have any questions, comments and/or suggestions, please do not 
hesistate to do so. Thank you.

Simon
