G'day, can anyone help me fix up my stuff up in my first time installation?

My setup is
Intel BX440 motherboard
32xcdrom
64 ram
4.3gig on hard drive
windows 98 on c drive
created 500mb d drive for linux as dev/hda5
created 128mb e drive for linux swap as dev/hda6

During the Red hat 5 EZstart installation I created the above partitions
using druid
and silly me not knowing about any of the acronyms of the software to
install, took the big step to install everything!. As it was installing I
got errors mainly of course that hda5 (500mb)had no more space!, I was able
to continue with pressing ok to these errors. Then I got to the boot loader
installation i think it was called lilo part of the installation and got
another error, I assume this error again was that it could not copy the
files due to no space left. I couldnot bypass or get out of this error so
had to turnoff the computer.

Some Howto notes indicates that I should use linload.exe zimage
root=/dev/hda5 ro to start, however I didnot have linload nor zimage on the
cd so instead used
loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 ro
it did its loading only to stop with the following errors:-

"WARNING Your etc/fstab does not contain the fsck passno field"
I assume this was a file that was not copy as I ran out of space, I am
correct?

Futher errors was:-

"Whilst parallelizing fsck version 1.10 the superblock could not be read and
does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid and it
really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else)
then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an
alternative superblock."

What does this mean, was the file system corrupted when I had to turn off
the computer? How can I uncorrupt it and redo the installation.

Did I do any damage using loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 ro instead of
linload zimage
Where can I get a copy of linload and zimage, if thats what I need?

As you can see I am only beginner when it comes to linux, so what software
should I select for software modules to install and also automatic startup.
Also what size should my linux partition be?

I want to keep win98 in drive c and linux on another drive say d and the
linux swap on e
yet currently the corrupt partitions do not show up under win98.

Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanking you.
