can you interact with the unknowns?

Hi all.
I'm considering dual booting linux and Macosx Leopard on my ppc Mac
mini. I found instructions for doing this but my problem is with
partitioning. When I choose partition in disk utility on the
installation cd and then choose the number of partitions I want from
the pop-up menu after selecting the hard drive, my formatting and size
options are dimmed. There's a scroll area with splitters and unknowns
but trying to interact with the scroll area and select an unknown
doesn't change anything. Clicking on "options" and making sure one of
the radio buttons is selected and clicking ok doesn't change anything
either. Apply isn't dimmed but I don't want to click that until I know
what I'm doing. Most of the linux partitioning will be done in the
linux installation but I have to do the Macosx partition and the
shared partition and then indicate the other partitions as free space
from the Mac side. What's puzzling about this is that I did partition
one of my hard drives on my Intel Mac, though getting the size right
was guesswork, so I must be forgetting a step here. Can anybody help
me with this? Is there a more accessible way to do this with
voiceover? I've also thought seriously about just turning the ppc mini
over to debian linux rather than a dual boot but I haven't decided
whether to do that or not. The dual boot itself will be taken care of
with yaboot when I install linux if I decide to continue with the dual
boot idea.
Any tips on repartitioning using voiceover would be appreciated; tia.
