<para>Like most other operating systems, LFS is usually installed on a
dedicated partition. The recommended approach to building an LFS system
is to use an available empty partition or, if you have enough unpartitioned

<para>A minimal system requires a partition of around 1.3 gigabytes (GB).
This is enough to store all the source tarballs and compile the packages.
However, if the LFS system is intended to be the primary Linux system,
