HFS stands for Hierarchial File System. Do Not delete your apple
untitled partition while in pDisk. Since you have a DV special Edition only
yaboot will work for you. And since you will be using yaboot, refer to Josh
Smith's E-mail called Configuring Open Firmware to Dual-Boot an iBook. I
used this info to guide me along on my G4 Dual-boot configuration. While in
pDisk, create your new partitions from the @1544 Block. The length of your
partitions is only a matter of preference. Follow Yellow Dog Manual for
limits of swap and minimums for root partitions.
Linux is very fun. Have Fun.
