That's what my downloaded .iso said too, so it's just fine.

Alright. I tried that. When you selected 'partition disks' it should
have brought you to a screen that looks like this: [if you don't have a
graphical browser, it says 'erase entire disk...', 'erase entire disk
and use LVM...', and 'Manually edit partition table']
http://witts-end.cavein.org/~chris/img/qemu-screen.jpg
On that screen you should choose the last option, 'Manually edit the
partition table'
If you are already on this screen: [if you don't have a graphical
browser it says 'All files in one partition...', 'Seperate /home
partition', and 'Seperate /home, /usr...']
http://witts-end.cavein.org/~chris/img/qemu-screen2.jpg
You can select '<Go Back>' to choose to manually edit the partition
table.
