Do you have a swap partition for your RedHat linux or some other spare
partition? (Assuming that swap is >64 MB)
If you do, delete the entry from the fstab on your RedHat system and
change its type to ext2. Then download the base disks and some package
you probably need to get the dialup working and go ahead installing on
the "was once swap" partition (without deleting the other partitions).
If it works, fine, if not, reboot to redhat and get the missing
packages.
That way you can test first. If all works fine, you can reinstall or
just add more partitions to the debian system.
May the Source be with you.
