Thanks for the reply, it's been so long that I ran an installation that way, I'm usually installing "custom" into drives that are sliced and diced to contain a number of systems . . . . I used to run installs "install alongside OSX" back in the day . . . I can't recall if the Debian installer offered me that option recently when I ran into the process a fair ways before aborting out of it . . . ??? I still want to preserve the OSX install on ye olden iBook . . . . Right now it's the third laptop down in the stack of laptops, in descending order of age . . . oldest on the bottom, and so forth. : - ) F
