John,

All new computers use LBA by default. If you are using a computer with 
older BIOS that still let you choose CHS/LBA/LARGE, you do not have to 
bother. All you have to do is make sure that the first partition does 
not use any cylinders above 1023. When sizing, tell gparted to start 
from cylinder 1 to any number under 1023 (but not too small - you need 
at least 100MB for /boot for storing a few versions of the kernel and 
their respective initrd images)
