For splitting a partition, you should use fips. It comes with good
documentation and you already have it. After splitting your C drive
(i.e. /dev/hda1), you can use fdisk or disk druid while installing
linux.

Free space implies the space that is not dedicated to any partition
and can be used for a new partition. So, while using fdisk/disk druid,
you will have to first delete the partition that was created using
fips which will in turn create free space. Now, you can proceed to
make partitions for Linux.
