Do you have any means to backup? No? Then that's a good idea.

Yes and no. If you're only planning to have / and /home, then
yes. Personally I have a small root (for less corruption likelyhood
when the system crashes or the power goes (no crash yet, which wasn't
self-inflicted, for two years)), and then mount /home /usr and /var,
which are bigger. In this case, the answer is no. / is 64MB (not
anywhere near full), /home 500MB (always full - hehe - the usual
problem), /usr 500MB (a little cramped, next time I'll let it be
700MB) and /var 120MB (plenty of room, but if you expect a lot of
mail/news traffic perhaps bigger is necessary).
: -3- Once I've my Debian CDs, how to overwrite the RH files ?
Just let the installation re-initialise your partitions (not /home of
course).
