Aha, OK. I see it now. Ever since I built my system for the third time, I have been rarely looking at the book. Especially after 7.0. The list in 2.2.1.3. and the recomendation in 2.2.1.1. are, in principle, mutually exclusive. A ~10GB root partition from 2.2.1.1. includes within itself a 5GB /usr, a 5GB /opt and "a couple of GB" /tmp. /bin, /lib and friends in / are rarely heavier than 200-300MB and can therefore be ignored in this calculation. 10GB for "system", that is, everything excluding /home, whereever you keep your sources and possibly the build dir, should be quite enough. > On a related topic : if I find an error in the 7.5 book, to whom > should the notice go?

Al I think lfs-support is good, but lfs-dev may be better. If you don't mind being on two mail-lists (and your mail program can handle it with reasonable ease), lfs-dev is better. -- Svi moji e-mailovi su kriptografski potpisani. Proverite ih.
