Run DOS fdisk, delete a partition (say, F:) after writing down
its start/end cylinders, boot linux and proceed to "Partition
hard drive" -- or, if your distribution doesn't have that, escape
to shell and run [c]fdisk.  You'll need to create at least 2 
partitions: Linux native and swap in the space previously used by
your F: drive.

There should be a few readme/howto files explaining all this on
your CD.
