Re: Coexistance of Debian and other OS



Hi,

 From official installing doc (Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For Intel x86):

http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-preparing.en.html#s-non-debian-partitioning
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch-preparing.en.html

 Does not seem to me unclear or insuffisient. Everything like that is in
 the manual.
