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.

you should already have more than one partition on your hard disk in which
you will install the Mandrake Linux. If you do so, then, at the installation
you have to edit the partitions (at the custom installation I think) and
select from the option fields "create root partition" (you will see an "/"
in the next field). You will select the partition you wish to install the
Linux first by clicking it with the mouse.
