I've done a few Debian installs from DOS Partitions and haven't encountered a single problem. It'll probably be much easier (not to mention a bit faster) if you go ahead and install it the way you first intended. Hdd installation is a perfectly fine method of installing Debian (2.1). Too bad I can't say the same thing about RedHat. :D > One last question, I use Flips to partition my hard drive into two main > sections, during installation will i be able to set up the other > partition for root, usr and swap? > Woodrow Yes, during the installation it will ask you to partition and activate/mount said partitions.
