I haven't done that myself, but I guess you cannot do it without using a spare partition. But that doesn't mean you have to repartition, you probably have a swap partition which you don't need during reinstallation. So just swapoff, mkfs and there you are. You could use the swap partition for debootstrapping as well. J. -- Atrocities committed in Rwanda pervade my mind when I am discussing mundanities with acquaintances.
