Hi,Lucky I didn't read the doc before attempting to install Debian using PM :) or I woulda have had a tougher time resizing all my partitions to get Linux in :)I don't know if there are possibilities of problems (and I still haven't gone thru the link, will do that in a while) however all I can cite is that I've used PM to install Deb 2.2 and 3.0 on different machines without any problem. However I'm sure if u don't have too much fancy resizing to do then parted of Deb fdisk shouldn't be too tough to use.Bye for now On Monday 07 Apr 2003 9:58 am, you wrote:I've installed Debian 3.0 on a partition created by Partition Magic for XP without any problems at all (don't recally the version of PM but i don't think it was the latest). Prior to this too I've installed earlier versions of Debian using such partitions and haven't had a problem so I don't think you need to worry.This is interesting, because the latest iteration of the desktop users guide for debian, formally the proginy users guide, talks about this in the section on installing debian. http://cafecomputer.com/guide/ch-instpdebian.en.html [Note] Linux partitions created using PartitionMagic are incompatible with the Debian install program. If you have any, delete them and re-create the partitions using parted or Debian fdisk. ???? Mat.
