Yes, but the great thing about the Debian Installer is that you won't have to ;) Unless you've done some interesting things to your install, the installer will recognise your sarge install--there should be a screen that says something to the effect of "Are all your other operating systems listed below? // Debian Sarge (on hda2)". If you see that, it should be safe to overwrite your MBR. -- Christopher Nelson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated by Signify v1.14.
