Re: Installing Debian 1.2
First, you probably want to install 1.3, not 1.2, unless you have some
specific reason for doing so.

Well, what's the problem?! Did you read the cfdisk documentation that
install.txt (or .html) instructs you to get? cfdisk is a program that
allows you to allocate a hunk of your hard drive space into a partition
which Linux can use. Ergo you must have a hunk of hard drive space still
unpartitioned; you can split off parts from your DOS or Winblows (but not
Winblows NT) partitions with the FIPS program. (FIPS will create a new
partition, actually, which you can just then delete and voila, free space.)

<shrug> It's hard to help when you don't even say what the problem is.
