Please, do not use it - it is too old to build recent versions of LFS.
To be honest, if you have enough space on the hard disk (say 40GB or more) then you might as well install debian (perhaps the pre-systemd version) or ubuntu, but go fo "expert" partitioning : /boot, somewhere for that distro (10GB if it is only to bootstrap LFS, maybe double that if you think you might keep it), two partitions for LFS (current and next - assuming you stay with it for some time and makesubsequent builds), and shared /home. For the LFS systems, 5GB each should be adequate for trying it out, 15GB each allows a pretty-full desktop (yes, I know you said you wanted to start with a minimal system, but available space is always useful). And just in case it isn't clear - for LFS we recommend that you build a new system when the time comes to upgrade. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
