<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 enough space to store all the tarballs and
|
|
to compile all packages without worrying about running out of the necessary
|
|
temporary disk space. 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 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
|
|
like hda11 (as it is in my case). This newly created partition will be
|
|
referred to as the LFS partition in this book.
