Re: Is it crucial to use cfdisk to repartition

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

You don't have to use cfdisk, but you _do_ have to wipe out the filesystem.
Various people have reported some success with installing Debian _over_
Slackware, but if you do that there will be files left behind from the old
system that will never be cleaned up, etc. We don't support upgrading on
top of another Linux distribution without first wiping out the filesystem
because we can't guarantee it will work well.

	Thanks
