How to Create Dual-Booting System

Okay, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have just started out using Linux (Ubuntu)
and I basically know nothing about this operating system!
I currently have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on my PC. The details of how
it got installed I cannot explain... I installed it on a HD that was not
partitioned and I accepted all the defaults that Ubuntu suggested. As
far as I know, there's only one volume on that HD.
I now would like to create a dual-boot system by installing openSUSE 11.3
_alongside_ Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
So I downloaded the CD version (GNOME) only, launched the installer and
came to the following suggestions by openSUSEn which basically is all
Greek to me:
* Delete partition /dev/sda1
* Create root volume /dev/sda1 with ext4
* Create volume /dev/sda3 for /home with ext4
* Use /dev/sda5 as swap
As I said before, what I would like to do is install openSUSE side-by-
side with Ubuntu and create a dual-boot system. I do _not_ want to
delete Ubuntu! I got scared by that "Delete partition /dev/sda1" thing
mentioned above and so I aborted the installation.
Is there anyone on this forum armed with lots of patience that can
explain to me in detail what to do?
.
