you download a distro fist. then you'll write The iso to a cd, and then you'll boot with an install menu, which will prolly give you a partition tool.
just give the logical partition an ext3 file system.
And keep a bit of space left for swap.

Hi, a complete newbie here, so please don't get mad if I'm asking a very stupid question! . Well Lozil how did you manage to install in that logical partition? I also used disk druid and then selected a partition, deleted it, then I choose mount point as '/' , File system type: ext2. But when I click ok, it gives a warning message that I should create a boot disk. Says my current architecture might not boot linux directly. By the way, I have Windows XP installed. And I'm trying to install Linux 8.0. Any suggestions anyone?
