Don't format the new partition under DOS: you need native linux
partition. I suggest you to set up at least 4 partitions for linux you
will use as: / (root); /usr; /home and a swap one. It's safer to have
different partitions for maintenance purposes you'll learn with time and
patience.

Don't well understand what do you mean, don't skip that point... you can
check the partition scheme al least. Then set the mount point for each
partition (i.e.: /dev/hda2 on / (root); /dev/hda3 on /usr ...)
