Think of a partition as a sort of split of your hard drive into 
smaller sections.  For example, you have a 10GB Hard drive, and you 
partition it as 1GB, 5GB, 4GB.  So what it is telling you to do is to 
create a root partition which i suggest to be a 1gb partition.  I am 
not sure if mandrake includes a means to do this.  If it does not you 
will have to end up doing it manually.  Beaware that if partitioning 
is not done correctly you face the issue that you may loose 
everything.
