Default Fc5

Hi, I am looking to d/l FC5 and I am curious what I have to D/L. Do I D/L I386, x86 64 or PPC or all three. Can someone please help me out with this.

Thanks

I did a fdisk -l and received the following which lists device, boot, start, end, blocks, ID and system. Below those titles listed is

/dev/hda1 * 1 406 3069328+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 407 420 15840 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 421 807 2925720 83 Linux
/dev/hda4 808 833 196560 5 extended
/dev/hda5 808 833 196528+ 82 Linux swap

Is this what I need to delete? If so, how do I do it please?

How do I delete a partition in linux? I tried the command fdisk d hda2 but it didn't work. Can some one please tell me the correct command.

TIA
