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, which may be found at http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/bsd-init.txt.

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
