<para>Like most other operating systems, LFS is usually installed on a
|
|
|
dedicated partition. The recommended approach to building an LFS system
|
|
|
is to use an available empty partition or, if you have enough unpartitioned
|
|
|
- space, to create one. However, an LFS system (in fact even multiple LFS
|
|
|
- systems) may also be installed on a partition already occupied by another

<para>A minimal system requires a partition of around 1.3 gigabytes (GB).

This is enough to store all the source tarballs and compile the packages.
