Hi, Trying to install Debian on an Alpha Personal Workstation 500a, which had been running NT, at the "Partition Hard Disk" step-- I get, having chosen /dev/sda, "Fatal error: Bad primary partition". Question is: Is this because the current primary partition (may be) is NTFS? Do I need to make it FAT? -- James S.
