-<para>In order to build our new Linux system, we will need some space:
|
|
|
-an empty disk partition. If you don't have a free partition, and no room
|
|
|
-on any of your hard disks to make one, then you could build LFS on the
|
|
|
-same partition as the one on which your current distribution is installed.
|
|
|
-This procedure is not recommended for your first LFS install, but if you
|
|
|
-are short on disk space, and you feel brave, take a look at the hint at
|

-<para>For a minimal system you will need a partition of around 1.3 GB.
|
|
|
-This is enough to store all the source tarballs and compile all the packages.
|
|
|
-But if you intend to use the LFS system as your primary Linux system, you
|
|
|
-will probably want to install additional software, and will need more space
|
|
|
-than this, probably around 2 or 3 GB.</para>

|
|
-<para>As we almost never have enough RAM in our box, it is a good idea to
|
|
|
-use a small disk partition as swap space - this space is used by the kernel
|
|
|
-to store seldom-used data to make room in memory for more urgent stuff.
|
|
|
-The swap partition for your LFS system can be the same one as for your host
|
|
|
-system, so you won't have to create another if your host system already uses
|
|
|
-a swap partition.</para>

-<para>Start a disk partitioning program such as <command>cfdisk</command>
|
|
|
-or <command>fdisk</command> with an argument naming the hard disk upon
|
|
|
-which the new partition must be created - for example
|
|
|
-<filename>/dev/hda</filename> for the primary IDE disk. Create a Linux native
|
|
|
-partition and a swap partition, if needed. Please refer to the man pages of
|
|
|
-<command>cfdisk</command> or <command>fdisk</command> if you don't yet
|
|
|
-know how to use the programs.</para>

|
|
-<para>Remember the designation of your new partition - something like
|
|
|
-<filename>hda5</filename>. This book will refer to it as the LFS partition.
|
|
|
-If you (now) also have a swap partition, remember its designation too. These
|
|
|
-names will later be needed for the <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> file.</para>
