Install BootX, start the installation (kernel with initrd) from BootX. Let d-i delete the MacOS partition and hold your thumbs (if installation goes wrong, you won't be able to boot into MacOS again). If that sounds too scary, try to resize the MacOS partition within the debian-installer (or even within MacOS before starting d-i, but I don't think MacOS will allow that). -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <hans@sociologi.cjb.net> A.
