<para>This chapter details how to install and configure the LFS-Bootscripts
package. Most of these scripts will work without modification, but a few require
additional configuration files because they deal with hardware-dependent
information.</para>

<para>System-V style init scripts are employed in this book because they are
widely used. For additional options, a hint detailing the BSD style
init setup is available at <ulink
url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/bsd-init.txt"><phrase
condition="pdf">http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/
downloads/files/bsd-init.txt</phrase></ulink>.
Searching the LFS mailing lists for <quote>depinit</quote> will also offer
additional choices.</para>

<para>If using an alternative style of init scripts, skip this chapter
and move on to <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
