I do not quite agree with Bruce on LFS main partition size. I give / about
50GB, and due to my laziness during LFS + BLFS installation process, this
amount of partition is easily consumed after the gnome compilation. So my
suggestion is: give as much space as you can to home partition, this will save
you a lot of time to clean disks for space. niuneilneo 邮箱：[email protected]

If it can boot from a CD/DVD or USB drive, it can boot without EFI. Since there
is no need for a gui on this system, I suggest a standard (not systemd) build.
This is what I have for my laptop: Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size
Code Name 1 34 1987 977.0 KiB EF02 grub
2 1988 392612 190.7 MiB 8300 boot 3
392614 39455114 18.6 GiB 8300 debian 4 39455115
78517615 18.6 GiB 8302 home 5 78517616 82423871 1.9
GiB 8200 Linux swap 6 82423872 124366911 20.0 GiB
8300 lfs-8.2 ... 23 :) Of course you can skip the debian partition I
have if you are going to install from a live CD/DVD. Since you will only have
one OS on the system, you do not need a separate partition for home, but I
still recommend a separate /boot partition for future flexibility. Notes: 1.
When I set this up, I was using an old version of fdisk. The initial sector
for the grub partition should have been 2048 which is now the default for both
gdisk and fdisk. 2. Without a gui, the partition size for lfs can be quite a
bit smaller. A size of 8 GiB would be plenty and ensure lots of room for
building glibc and gcc. My last basic LFS installed size was 3.1 GiB,
including 525 MiB for the sources (gcc build size was 3702.500 MB). -- Bruce
