That doesn't seem to be quite the case any longer.  It didn't offer
anything about partitioning the drive or even formatting a partition.  It
only saw that there was some space on the windows partition and installed
some big files (ala BeOS).  A core file, a home file and a swap file.  It
would seem the evaluation version runs from these files and that's all
there is to it.

I'm burning the 3 CDs of the new Debian now.  ;)

Thanks,
