Before booting you'll see the chance to press function keys (F1, F2, etc). Please do so and read what options you have. Booting the installer CD with "linux26" will give you kernel 2.6.x.
Partitioning can be tricky. You move highlighted area up and down with cursor keys and press Enter where you want to change something.
Installing Grub bootloader is also tricky. You need to decide whether you want to install Grub to MBR (Master Boot Record) or to the beginning of your Debian root (/) partition (in case you already have another bootloader). Grub starts counting hard disks and partitions from number 0. So, what is usually seen as hard disk 1, partition 6, is (hd0,5) as far as Grub is concerned.
It might be useful to print and read the installation manual (you'll find a link in the installer web page) before actually installing Debian. If you don't succeed at first attempt, you are allowed to try second time, so there's no need to panic.
