+  <para os="a">Like most other operating systems, CLFS is usually installed
+  on a dedicated partition. The recommended approach to building a CLFS
   system is to use an available empty partition or, if you have enough
-  unpartitioned space, to create one. However, a CLFS system (in fact
-  even multiple CLFS 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 os="b">A minimal system requires a partition of around 1.3 gigabytes (GB).

-  However, if the CLFS system is intended to be the primary Linux system,
-  additional software will probably be installed which will require
-  additional space (2-3 GB). The CLFS system itself will not take up this
-  much room. A large portion of this requirement is to provide sufficient
-  free temporary storage. Compiling packages can require a lot of disk space
-  which will be reclaimed after the package is installed.</para>
