how can i create linux partition?

[Steve <Strange@loop.com>]

Hello, I'm new -- & just recieved my dist. of debian and currently have win95.
I have a program called partition magic -- but it doesn't allow me to create linux partitions
-- why I do not know .... Anyhow Im looking for a way to take an existing partition and
format it as linux -- without wiping my hard drive clean --- any suggestions?
