So my question is: Is it ok to delete the Solaris partition (using fdisk) and start the debian installer ?
Yes.
Will the debian installer take over and recognize the linux partition ?
I do not know.
I simply afraid that something will mess up because the solaris partition is a primary partiton, and as I unerstand , now the MBR of GRUB is in it.
The GRUB usually is on the MBR. You may install grub ("the mbr of grub" as you call it wrongly) on the boot sector of this primary partition but it is not common. However you do not have to fear anything because Debian installer will install a grub for you (if it offers you to install lilo tell it to install grub). Once installed if the fedora system is not recognised and let's suppose that fedora is on hda6 you should add to the bottom of debian's menu.lst the following lines: title Fedora menu configfile (hd0,5)/boot/grub/menu.lst and you're done. adrian15
