Installing without repartitioning? (partman not recognizing partitions)

[Andreas Balser <a.ba@gmx.de>]

Hi,

is there any way of bypassing the partitioning step in the debian
installer?

I want to use existing partitions to install debian, and I just have
to tell the installer which partitions to use.

The problem is that partman does not recognize the partitions (while
fdisk does).

Is there a way of installing without "partman" (like install from
harddrive, use an older version of the installer, ...)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Andreas
