+<!--Edit Me-->
+<para>Like most other operating systems, LFS is usually installed on
+a dedicated partition.  If you have an empty partition or enough
+unpartitioned space on one of your hard disks to make one, using this
+for your LFS installation is recommended.  However, an LFS system (in
+fact even multiple LFS systems) may also be installed on a partition
+already occupied by another operating system and the different systems
+will co-exist peacefully.  The document
+<ulink url="&hints-root;/lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt"/> explains
+how to implement this, whereas this book discusses the method of
+using a fresh partition for the installation.</para>
+<!--End Edit Me-->
 
 <para>A minimal system requires a partition of around 1.3 gigabytes
