-Partitioning your disk simply refers to the act of breaking up your
-disk into sections. Each section is then independent of the others.
-It's roughly equivalent to putting up walls inside a house; if you add
-furniture to one room it doesn't affect any other room.

-and want to stick Linux on the same disk, you will need to repartition
-the disk. Debian requires its own hard disk partitions. It cannot be

-partitions with other Linux systems, but that's not covered here. At

-In general, changing a partition with a file system already on

-If your computer has more than one hard disk, you may want to dedicate
-one of the hard disks completely to Debian. If so, you don't need to
-partition that disk before booting the installation system; the
-installer's included partitioning program can handle the job nicely.

-If your machine has only one hard disk, and you would like to
-completely replace the current operating system with &debian;,
-you also can wait to partition as part of the installation process
-(<xref linkend="partman"/>), after you have booted the
-installation system. However this only works if you plan to boot the
-installer system from tapes, CD-ROM or files on a connected machine.
-Consider: if you boot from files placed on the hard disk, and then
-partition that same hard disk within the installation system, thus
-erasing the boot files, you'd better hope the installation is
-successful the first time around. At the least in this case, you
-should have some alternate means of reviving your machine like the
-original system's installation tapes or CDs.

-If your machine already has multiple partitions, and enough space can
-be provided by deleting and replacing one or more of them, then you
-too can wait and use the Debian installer's partitioning program. You
-should still read through the material below, because there may be
-special circumstances like the order of the existing partitions within
-the partition map, that force you to partition before installing
-anyway.

-In all other cases, you'll need to partition your hard disk before
-starting the installation to create partitionable space for
-Debian. If some of the partitions will be owned by other operating
-systems, you should create those partitions using native operating
-system partitioning programs. We recommend that you do
-<emphasis>not</emphasis> attempt to create Debian Linux partitions
-using another operating system's tools. Instead, you should just
-create the native operating system's partitions you will want to
-retain.

-If you are going to install more than one operating system on the same

-Linux installation. Windows and other OS installations may destroy
-your ability to start Linux, or encourage you to reformat non-native
-partitions.

-In order for OpenFirmware to automatically boot &debian; the Linux
-partitions should appear before all other partitions on the disk,

-disk. (The small partitions dedicated to Apple disk drivers are not
-bootable.) You can delete the placeholder with the Linux partition
-tools later during the actual install, and replace it with Linux
