Installing Hardy into a 'wasted' partition

[john d. herron]

Hi, all.
I'm quite confused and need some really elementary advice.
I'd like to install Hardy (AFAIK it's the last kde 3.x distro) into a 
partition that still contains bits and pieces of a wasted Dapper version.
This ext3 partition holds 12 GB.
 
Three questions:
1. Do I need to manually empty the Dapper partition first, or would 
reformatting it take care of that?
2. I'd like to have all of Hardy in this one partition, with swap in a 
separate one.
    The install CD offers a number of choices for mount points. What 
would be the most reasonable or logical choice?
3. At some point in the install procedure the CD prompts for a 'computer 
name'. Is it essential ?
Thanks for your suggestions.
john
