Have you thought about installing VirtualBox and creating your test Linux in a virtual machine? The installation of VirtualBox is simple, and the installation of a new O/S under it is exactly the same as if it were on a 'bare' system. You'll get to create and size your partitions under the VM without the worry that you'll destroy your real environment.
