Is it crucial to use cfdisk to repartition

[Walter Tautz <walt@snowhite.cis.uoguelph.ca>]

I am thinking about installing debian over slackware, but
I don't want to repartion the drive. The drive was partitioned
with the program used by slackware. I take it that one can
skip the `initialization' step and simply use the existing
partitions or is it advised that I repartition using 
cfdisk?

I want to retain certain files simply for convenience and because
I don't have a tape backup system. Note: I HAVE BACKED
UP CRITICAL FILES VIA FLOPPY TO ANOTHER SYSTEM.
