   <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
-  space, to create one. However, an LFS system (in fact even multiple LFS
-  systems) may also be installed on a partition already occupied by another
+  space, to create one.</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.
