Read this part of the install guide on using the installer and partitioning. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch06s03.html.en#di-partition Even if you don't want to change the other partitions you will need to format and set up your hda5 again and tell it to mount hda5 as / this will set up hda5 in /etc/fstab as your / and leave all the other partitions alone (you will have to manually add them to /etc/fstab in you want access to them) otherwise specify a mount point for them and select them as "do not format". The Debian installer is very flexible, you will get it do what you want, it's just a matter of you finding the options in the installer. Adrian -- 24x7x365 != 24x7x52 Stupid or bad maths? <erno> hm.
