"Dynamic Disk Overlay": do debian boot and root ...

[Alan Eugene Davis <adavis@kuentos.guam.net>]

Are debian's boot and root disks able to deal with Ontrack "Dynamic
Disk Overlay" used on large IDE drives?  

This is probably not the correct newsgroup for this question, and I
apologize for getting off the subject.  I am trying to install Linus
on a friend's machine, and have gotten stuck: Slackware installation
disks and fdisk are unable to deal with the apparent proprietary
format of the 700MB Hard drive.  Any suggestions would be welcome.
FOr my next experiment I will try debian boot and root disks.
