i need some help and am new to linux
i had 3 partitions
C: (FAT32 with Windows 98SE)

all that went fine.................

OK,  

Drive e: (assuming this is all one physical drive) is /dev/hda3.  You're probably going to need to remove the FAT partition (I use an old boot floppy with a partitioning utility) first, then proceed with the install.  You might consider the frugal install, lots of benefits to it!  You can read more on the forum.
