<title>Creating a new partition</title>

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 you enough space to store all the tarballs and
|
||
|
|
to compile all packages without worrying running out of the necessary
|
||
|
|
temporary disk space. If you already have a Linux Native partition available,
|
||
|
|
you can skip this subsection.

Start the fdisk program (or another fdisk program you prefer) with the
|
||
|
|
appropriate hard disk as the option (like /dev/hda if you want to create a
|
||
|
|
new partition on the primary master IDE disk). Create a Linux Native
|
||
|
|
partition, write the partition table and exit the fdisk program. If you get
|
||
|
|
the message that you need to reboot your system to ensure that the partition
|
||
|
|
table is updated, then please reboot your system now before continuing.
|
||
|
|
Remember what your new partition's designation is. It could be something
|
||
|
|
like hda11 (as it is in my case). This newly created partition will be
|
||
|
|
referred to as the LFS partition in this book.
