Net-install CD: What it does to existing partitions and installations

[Ian Astley]

I currently run a Linux machine under Fedora Core 5. I am interested in 
having a look at Debian too and downloaded and burnt the Net-install CD 
from the main site, with a view to compiling a Debian kernel which I 
would then have nominated in GRUB alongside the existing FC5 kernels I 
have. The CD booted as it should but when I got to the partitioning 
options I was not too sure exactly what it would do to the existing 
partitions (which it identified correctly), since the on-screen 
directions did not explicitly state that my existing installation would 
be left unharmed. Fedora and SuSE, both of which I have, are much 
clearer about this stage in the installation process. Could anyone 
clarify this please? I downloaded the Net-install CD because I did not 
want to go through the rigmarole of downloading a full set of CDs when 
conceivable I would only need a fraction of the data in the first 
instance.
Many thanks in advance,Ian Astley
