+<title>Creating a new partition</title>
+
+<para>
+Before we can build our new Linux system, we need to have an empty Linux
+partition on which we can build our new system. I recommend a partition size
+of around 750 MB. This gives you enough space to store all the tarballs and 
+to compile all packages without worrying running out of the necessary 
+temporary disk space. If you already have a Linux Native partition available, 
+you can skip this subsection.

+Start the fdisk program (or another fdisk program you prefer) with the
+appropriate hard disk as the option (like /dev/hda if you want to create a
+new partition on the primary master IDE disk). Create a Linux Native
+partition, write the partition table and exit the fdisk program. If you get
+the message that you need to reboot your system to ensure that the partition
+table is updated, then please reboot your system now before continuing.
+Remember what your new partition's designation is. It could be something
+like hda11 (as it is in my case). This newly created partition will be
+referred to as the LFS partition in this book.
