First, let me tell you that it is possible to build LFS on only one partition,
|
||||
which is where your original distribution is installed. This is not recommended
|
||||
if it is the first time you try LFS, but may be useful if you are short on disk
|

space. If you feel brave, take a look at the <ulink

after having used optimization, always try it without optimizing to see if you

can reproduce the problem.
