## Installation of LFS-Bootscripts

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 would prefer to try something else, Marc Heerdink has written a hint about BSD style init scripts, to be found at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/bsd-init.txt. And if you'd like something more radical, search the LFS mailing lists for depinit.

If you decide to use BSD style, or some other style scripts, you can skip Chapter 7 when you arrive at it and move on to Chapter 8.

Install the boot scripts:

    cp -a rc.d sysconfig /etc

Give root ownership of the scripts:

    chown -R root:root /etc/rc.d /etc/sysconfig
