kk,
have a bit of a read-up here.
A few lines down from the top of the page is a link to
clivesays' PDF on Frugal installation.
I recommend this highly.
You would run the install scripts and say no when you get to
the part where lilo installs.
A Frugal installation is like putting the live cd iso file on a
partition and booting to it.
You can use your existing Grub menu.list to do this.
But first things first..... download your isolinux or syslinux
(may be needed for older hardware) and check the md5sum,
then get your live cd up and running.
Good Luck!

kk,
In a terminal, type: md5sum dsl-1.2.1.iso
The resulting number should match the
dsl-1.2.1.iso.md5.txt given in the repository.
The installer will recognise your valid partitions.
I tend to make them from within a live cd environment.

:)
