I think I have enough to go on now, thanks.  I could not be more 
specific, because the whole thing went over my head.  Could also be 
because I was trying to do it at 3am. :)  I'd only ever installed Linux 
on an Apple machine and it pretty much took care of everything for me. 
I only had to try pressing random keys a few times... yeah, I know, 
stupid.  But it worked. :)

I was referring to the 'name' or 'type' in fdisk or whatever it is where 
you enter text to identify the partition.

Thanks for the references.  I'll print them out.
