Installation confusion with present partitions

I guess I'm having a memory lapse, but I don't want to mess up my partitions and other distros when I install Mandriva 2007. I want to keep my Suse Grub on the Master Boot Record as my bootloader. Here is what I have:

 

hda1 (hd0,0) Ext3 101 MB (this is a mystery, but I'll just leave this here and don't want to mess with it)

hda2 (hd0,1) Linux Swap 1.01 GB

hda5 (hd0,4) Mandriva 2006 15.4 GB

hda6 (hd 0,5) Suse 9.00 GB

hda7 (hd0,6) Kubuntu 6.00 GB

hda8 (hd0,7) Mandriva 2005 6.00 GB

 

I want to install Mandriva 2007 on hda8, where Mandriva 2005 is now. I don't want MDV2007's bootloader on the MBR.

 

During installation, this is what shows when I choose "Use existing partitions":

 

Choose the mount points:

 

hda1 (101MB, /boot, ext3) /boot

hda5 (15 GB, /, reiserfs) /

hda6 (9GB, reiserfs) This field is blank

hda7 (6GB, ext3) This field is blank

hda8 (5.9 GB, reiserfs) This field is blank I want Mandriva 2007 on this partition.

 

How do I change these mount points so that I install Mandriva 2007 on hda8?

 

Many thanks for your help.
