r339a655 r1f2827e4 8 8 <?dbhtml filename="creatingpartition.html"?> 9 9 10 < para>In order to build a new Linux system, space is required in the11 form of an empty disk partition. If the computer does not have a free 12 partition or room on any of the hard disks to make one, LFS can be 13 built on the same partition where the current distributionis14 installed.</para> 15 16 <note><para>This advanced procedure is not recommended 17 for your first LFS installation, but if you are short on 18 disk space the following document can be helpful: <ulink 19 url="&hints-root;lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt"><phrase 20 condition="pdf">http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/ 21 lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt</phrase></ulink>.</para></note>10 <!--Edit Me--> 11 <para>Like most other operating systems, LFS is usually installed on 12 a dedicated partition. If you have an empty partition or enough 13 unpartitioned space on one of your hard disks to make one, using this 14 for your LFS installation is recommended. However, an LFS system (in 15 fact even multiple LFS systems) may also be installed on a partition 16 already occupied by another operating system and the different systems 17 will co-exist peacefully. The document 18 <ulink url="&hints-root;/lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt"/> explains 19 how to implement this, whereas this book discusses the method of 20 using a fresh partition for the installation.</para> 21 <!--End Edit Me--> 22 22 23 23 <para>A minimal system requires a partition of around 1.3 gigabytes
