What do you mean "over". Unless you know extremely well not to ask this
question in this way, I bet normal procedure will wipe your RH partition
away. So same thing :-)

I do not understand you but there should be an answer in instal;l
manual. (If you are doing netinstall, it may be
http.us.debian.org

you only need CD#1 for install. Once oiinstalled, you get it upgraded
to latest any version.

Did you do "fdisk -l /dev/hda" or similar to check its partition.
