I got as far as downloading the files I need to install debian 2.2 potato on my laptop. It boots up fine, I get to the installer, but now, there's a dilemma with partitions. /dev/hda1 appears to have a little over 1 gig, /dev/hda2 appears to have 4.something gigs, and I thought I had an 8 gig hard drive, so I tried to create /dev/hda3 using fdisk, but it said, no sectors free. Fips didn't seem to split anything off, can I just delete partition 2 and install linux to it? It's a fat32 partition that doesn't show up in windows, I only have drive c, and my cd-rom on d and my floppy on a, and no other drives are shown. If there are two fat32 partitions, they should both show. Is it safe to delete the 4 gig one, to put linux on? If one of them is the suspend to disk area, how can I disable it, as I can't find anything related to it in control panel, device manager, or any of the power settings in windows, can it be changed through /dev/nvram, or it's equivalent, whatever it is, in windows?
