 <para>Like most other operating systems, LFS is usually installed on

 fact even multiple LFS systems) may also be installed on a partition
 already occupied by another operating system and the different systems
 will co-exist peacefully.  The document
 <ulink url="&hints-root;lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt"/> explains
 how to implement this, whereas this book discusses the method of
 using a fresh partition for the installation.</para>

 <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

 will require additional space (2 or 3 GB). The LFS system itself will
