dh_racer,

Here is what I have done.

hda1  Boot  Primary  Linux ext2  15002.92
hda5          Logical  Linux swap     254.99
hda6          Logical  Linux          14756.16

I have one 30GB hard drive, and made the swap partition the same size as my RAM. I have 256MB RAM and typed it in as 256 but you can see that the partition size is just a little different, it did that on it's own.
By the way, DSL does NOT need that big of a partition. 15GB is huge for DSL and quite an overkill. I just did that cuz I was in a hurry and I know that I will be blowing it away and reinstalling at some point, not because of problems but due to hardware changes that I will be making. I have run DSL on a 500MB partition in the past.
I believe that you will be able to blow away your fedora core stuff by doing this. I've blown away other things doing it this way.

Good luck.
