Installation manual is available on-line at www.debian.org, also you
can download it from a mirror eg ftp.tower.com.au (I don't remember
the dir structure so you'll have to browse).

Anyway, installing base system is not that different from Slackware --
prepare boot & root disks, boot up and answer the questions.
You don't need to run fdisk manually, BTW, as it is run from install
script.  The only possible problem is if you have 4MB of RAM or less --
Debian install may not like that.
