    Hi!

    I'm planing to install Debian on my desktop machine which already has a
    running Linux. But not Debian which I came to like recently because I use it
    on my laptop.

    So here is the question. Is it possible with the debian installer to skip
    some of the tasks? Especially formatting the partitions and installing a new
    kernel? Which means I want to keep my LILO settings and everything in /boot
    and /lib/modules.

    Thanks,

    Martin
