(The first 8 > partitions seem to be Mac Interna, like drivers, ..) If you want to use MacOS then leave the first 8 partitions (apple drivers and pathes) as they are. The rest of my partition table looks like this. /dev/hda9 Apple_Bootstrap boot /dev/hda10 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap /dev/hda11 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root /dev/hda12 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 home /dev/hda13 Apple_HFS HardDisk You don't need the first 8 partitions if you don't want to use MacOS. At the time I installed Debian, there were no bootable CDs so I had to have MacOS installed. I assume the new CD images will boot but I can't confirm that. See Ethan Benson's HOWTO for partitioning the hard disk for Debian. Brendan Simon.
