You do not have to erase everything already on your disk. I use the
netinst installer, so I can't speak to the live CD.

What you do have to do is make room first on your hard drive by
shrinking one or more existing partitions to make some room. I use the
gparted live CD to do this, although there are other ways.

You might start by reading the Debian bookworm -- Installation
Guide. https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual

Does anybody read signatures any more?
