Partition question

[Perry Hoekstra <dutchman@uswest.net>]

I have a stupid partition question.  I created a partition on
/dev/hda7.  How do a.) format it and b.) name it?  I know how to do this
in the Microsoft world.  All the documentation I have read talks about
partitions when you install Linux but none speak to creating partitions
from free space after the fact.
