Introduction

This chapter will setup the bootscripts that you installed in chapter 6. Most of these scripts will work without needing to modify them, but a few do require additional configuration files setup as they deal with hardware dependant information.

We will be using SysV style init scripts. We have chosen this style because it is widely used and we feel comfortable with it. If you want to try something else, someone has written an LFS-Hint on BSD style init scripts at http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/bsd-init.txt .
