Wow, I'm impressed.
As you may know, we're preparing for the release of Debian 2.1. Igor
is taking a break so I've been working on the documentation for that
release.
If you're interested, you can read my new Installation Manual (not
officially released, under development) at
<URL:http://www.debian.org/~aph/boot-floppies/i386/install.html>.

Yes, I have actually used Partition Magic before and it works quite
handily. However, Partition Magic is non-free software, so I don't
feel good recommending it; that is, unless the are willing to release
a free version. Anyhow, I'd hate to give free advertising to a
company.
Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion, however.
