2<title>Creating a new partition</title>

5Before we can build our new Linux system, we need to have an empty Linux
6partition on which we can build our new system. I recommend a partition size
7of at least 750 MB. This gives enough space to store all the tarballs and
8to compile all packages without worrying about running out of the necessary
9temporary disk space. But you probably want more space than that if you
10plan to use the LFS system as your primary Linux system. If that's the
11case you'd want more space so you can install additional software. If a
12Linux Native partition is already available, this subsection can be skipped.

16The cfdisk program (or another fdisk like program you prefer)) is
17started with the appropriate hard disk as the option (like /dev/hda if a
18new partition is to be created on the primary master IDE disk). It is used
19to create a Linux Native partition, write the partition table and exit the
20cfdisk program. Please refer to the documentation that comes with your
21fdisk program of choice (the man pages are often a good place to start)
22and read the procedures about how to create a new Linux native
23partition and how to write the partition table.

27The new partition's designation should be remembered. It
28could be something like hda11. This newly created partition will be
29referred to as the LFS partition in this book.
