Can I use my existing disk partitions?

I've got a 450 MHz G4 with a single 80 gig IDE drive that I've split into 4
20-gig partitions. I've got MacOS-8.6 on the first partition, some data on
the 2nd, and the other two are empty. I want to install YD-2.3 on the box.
I've done RedHat/Intel installs, but this is my first attempt at Linux on a
Mac.
It's not clear to me from reading the instructions if my current disk
partitions are going to work, or if I need to repartition the drive.
Also, I don't have a CD-ROM burner, but I do have plenty of free disk
space! Do I really need to burn a install CD, or can I just put the CD
image on a spare partition and install from that?
