(I can't afford it to be "more" broken than it is)  More importantly can I specify to Debian that it should create and use a swap partition on the second disk (I would like to eventually get rid of the first disk cause it's getting a little old).  Also, during the install can I tell Debian (I didn't get this far) to NOT install lilo (or grub?).

it is safe to "re-use" the swap partition of the other guy, as long its
not being used ( that fc2 is not running )

you will need to fix grub in fc2 to tell it that yu want to
boot debian 
	- just adding the deb entries ( like the fc entries ) in
	fedoraC2:/boot/grub/menu.lst should work
