 From your description, I can't fugure out where you currently have 
FC4T3, or do you have it?  I also don't see a swap partition.  At any 
rate, on a FC4 install with manual partition, you should be able to 
assign partition 1 to / and have it formatted with ext3 file system.  
That is a LOT of disk space for the system, however, so it might be 
better to split it up into several partitions.  A 10GB partition is 
plenty for the system.  You should have a swap partition about 1 - 2x 
the amount of RAM in your computer (this is a very nebulous spec.)  With 
a few more pieces of information, someone might be able to give you 
better recommendations.
