Are you absolutely certain you know what you're doing? If not, please take the time to learn first. As great a teacher experience is, it pales in comparison to learning from others first -- especially since you have tools like Google to find out how to do something right the first time. You need to have a good idea what you're doing before you start deleting, adding, and adjusting partitions. That includes backing up any data you don't want to lose or can't afford to lose.
Once you're certain you know what you're doing, boot DSL as you normally would or use cheatcode 2 (dsl 2) at the boot prompt. If you used cheatcode 2, you'll be in root console. Type:
cfdisk /dev/hda
Then hit enter. You'll be in cfdisk and your current partitions will be displayed. The commands are on bottom. Toggle through them with the arrow keys on your keyboard.
If you don't use the cheatcode and go into fluxbox, you can open a root terminal (EITHER right click on the aterm icon and scroll to root or super user OR choose a root terminal in the menu). Do the same thing as above to start cfdisk.
