lenny reinstall

[postid <postid@basicisp.net>]

I need to reinstall lenny using netinstall. (I had some problems 
with the network, etc. during the first attempt.) I want to keep 
the partitioning I currently have set up. I especially don't want 
to risk messing up hda1 since I promised the user that I'd give 
them the option of booting either system.

   hda1 win2000
   hda2 /
   hda5 /swap
   hda6 /home

 Will the partitioner give me the option of reusing the current 
scheme and formatting over the old data on hda2 and hda6 or do I 
need to delete the contents of hda2 and hda6 using a live distro 
(or the installer command line?) before I start the install? I 
seem to recall reading somewhere that Debian won't install over 
itself. Any pitfalls to watch for here or am I just paranoid? I 
don't want to lose the contents of hda1. I'm planning on using 
the graphical installer and manual partitioning.
