Do some searching around this forum, the wiki and/or the blog area and I'm sure you'll find your answer.
It's been my experience with doing Frugal installs that the script will format the partition. I can't see where it would hurt for you to format the partition first if that's what you're worried about. Remember that DSL needs to boot from a ext2 partition but the /home or /opt partitions can be something other then ext2.
You may want to divide your Ubuntu partition up so that you can have a small partition for the cd image of dsl and then a larger area for a /home and /opt directory.
I know there is some documentation on the different scripts (with screen prints) but I'm currently using a very slow connection so you'll have to find them yourself. I did manage to find some other documentation on the wiki before my connection started to die. So here's a start:

-Good luck

======== Note =========
The DSL Forum Search default is 'OR'
If you search for "cat dog" you will get all "cat" posts and all "dog" posts.
If you search for "cat AND dog" you will only find results that contain BOTH "cat" and "dog"
Add '*' for wildcards, " cat* and dog* "
