Before we can build our new Linux system, we need to have an empty Linux
|
|
|
partition on which we can build our new system. I recommend a partition size
|
|
|
-of around 750 MB. This gives enough space to store all the tarballs and

The cfdisk program (or another fdisk like program the user prefers) is

-appropriate hard disk as the option (like /dev/hda if the gentle reader
|
|
|
-wants to create a
|
|
|
-new partition on the primary master IDE disk). It is used to create a Linux
|
|
|
-Native partition, write the partition table and exit the cfdisk program.
|
|
|
-The new partition's designation should be remembered. It could be something
