<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 at least 750 MB. This gives enough space to store all the tarballs and
|
|
to compile all packages without worrying about running out of the necessary
|
|
temporary disk space. But you probably want more space than that if you
|
|
plan to use the LFS system as your primary Linux system. If that's the
|
|
case you'd want more space so you can install additional software. If a
|
|
Linux Native partition is already available, this subsection can be skipped.

The cfdisk program (or another fdisk like program the user prefers) is
|
|
started with the appropriate hard disk as the option (like /dev/hda if a
|
|
new partition is to be created 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 like hda11 (as it is in my case). This newly created
|
|
partition will be referred to as the LFS partition in this book.
