ftp tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux or you can buy a CDROM

Where can I find the instruction for doing this partitioning?

In a DOS manuel, or in LINUX manuel (see tsx-11)
You can make the partitions first for DOS by fdisk programm.
Do one partition for DOS, and one for No-DOS.
By installing the LINUX you will do the partition for LINUX.

Thanks in anticipation
