I suggest building on a Woody box. A Potato build of the install
manual is going to be suboptimal by definition -- older debiandoc-sgml
and TeX and all that.

parted(8) GNU Parted Manual parted(8)
NAME
GNU Parted - a partition manipulation program
SYNOPSIS
parted [options] [device [command [options]]]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the parted command.
Complete documentation is distributed with the package.
parted is a disk partitioning and partition resizing pro
gram. It allows you to create, destroy, resize, move and
copy ext2, FAT and FAT32 partitions. This is useful for
creating space for new operating systems, reorganising
disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
displays a help message
-i, --interactive
where necessary, prompts for user intervention
-s, --script
never prompts for user intervention
-v, --version
displays the version
COMMANDS
[device]
The block device to partition.
[command [options]]
Specifies a command to parted. If no command is
given, parted will give you a command prompt. Com
mands are:
check partition
does a simple check on partition
cp [source-device] source dest
copies the source partition's filesystem on
source-device (or the current device if no
other device was specified) to the dest par
tition on the current device
help [command]
prints general help, or help on command if
specified
mklabel label-type
creates a new disklabel (partition table).
For label-type, currently only "msdos" is
supported
mkfs partition fs-type
make a filesystem fs-type on partition. fs-
type can be one of "FAT", "ext2" or "linux-
swap"
mklabel label-type
Creates a new disklabel of type label-type
on the current device. label-type should be
one of "bsd", "loop", "mac", "msdos", "pc98"
or "sun"
mkpart part-type [fs-type] start end
make a part-type partition with filesystem
fs-type (if specified), beginning at start
and ending at end (in megabytes). part-type
should be one of "primary", "logical" or
"extended"
mkpartfs part-type fs-type start end
make a part-type partition with filesystem
fs-type beginning at start and ending at end
(in megabytes)
move partition start end
move partition to start at start and end at
end. Note: move never changes the minor num
ber
name partition name
set the name of partition to name. This
option works only on Mac and PC98 diskla
bels. The name can be placed in quotes, if
necessary
print displays the partition table
quit exits parted
resize partition start end
resize the filesystem on partition to start
at start and end at end megabytes
rm partition
deletes partition
select device
choose device as the current device to edit.
device should usually be a Linux hard disk
device, but it can be a partition, software
raid device or a LVM logical volume if that
is necessary
set partition flag state
change the state of the flag on partition to
state. Flags supported are: "boot", "root",
"swap", "hidden", "raid", "lvm" and "lba".
state should be either "on" or "off"
