There really isn't any reason to prefer 32-bits or 64-bits any more. If you have a 64-bit system, do a 64-bit build. I'd recommend 10-20 G for the LFS partition just for flexibility. The rest is for whatever you want. I use a lot of partitions for multiple builds. It's useful to have a separate /home and /boot partition. I use a separate partition for /usr/src where all my BLFS sources reside, but it's your distro and you make the rules for that. Any distro can be used. Just make sure you update it to meet the host system requirements. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
