Hello all,

I didn't see a mail list for installation problems so I decided to try this 
group. If this is the wrong place for this, I apologize in advance.

I'm trying to install a debian system but I need to have the partition set 
up correctly.
I currently have Windows and Redhat linux on my hard drive. Linux partition 
this as follows:

location        start     end    fs
--------        -----     ---    --
/dev/hda
  /dev/hda1     1         2246   NTFS
  /dev/hda2     2247      2252   ext3
  /dev/hda3     2253      3583   ext3
  /dev/hda4     3589      3649   extended
  /dev/hda4     3589      3649   linux swap

According to my theory, it looks like /dev/hda2 is the boot sector. Is this 
correct?
I'd like to install debian on this existing partition. I'm assuming that I 
can leave this as is and debian will write to the appropriate sections of 
the hard drive. Can anyone tell me if I should change this or is it OK to 
leave this as is?
All help is greatly appreciated.

bp
