Re: Debian Woody Installation on alpha
During installation, in the "Initialize a Linux Partition" section,
there should be an option for "Alternate" (or something close to that)
in the menu. You need to select that to allow you to specify other
partitions and mount points.
The debian Woody alpha install guide is available at:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/alpha/install
and specifically partitioning is:
