You can tell the Debian installer (d-i) to not format partitions. If you are encrypting them, you can skip writing to the whole partition. If you have already done so recently, re-writing the encrypted partition would be redundant. Then, there's the question, why have you done seven installations? That may be an issue to take up on the Debian user list instead of here. > I unpacked /home/amanda, and I am trying to build and install it, but > several minutes into the build, I get an error exit: Why not just use the Debian packaged version of Amanda? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
