What you can do is this: 1) Move every binary you think you should need from /usr/bin,/bin to /usr/local/bin (and libs, etc.). Then remove everything in usr (outside of /usr/local, of course). 2) Start the install process. When you have the target partition mounted, ask for a shell and remove /etc, /lib, /bin, /sbin, /var and /boot. 3) Install Debian. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
