You need to use Manual: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ These examples are for powerpc (which usually needs partitioning tricks) but the i386/amd64 instructions are similar. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch06s03.html.en#partman http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/apcs01.html.en http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apc.html.en "First you will be given the opportunity to automatically partition either an entire drive, or available free space on a drive. This is also called “guided” partitioning. If you do not want to autopartition, choose Manual from the menu."
