  30. <para>The next sections detail how to install and configure the LFS system
  31. scripts needed during the boot process. Most of these scripts will work
  32. without modification, but a few require additional configuration files
  33. because they deal with hardware-dependent information.</para>
  34. <para>System-V style init scripts are employed in this book because they are
  35. widely used and relatively simple. For additional options, a hint detailing
  36. the BSD style init setup is available at <ulink
  37. url="&hints-root;bsd-init.txt"/>. Searching the LFS mailing lists for
  38. <quote>depinit</quote>, <quote>upstart</quote>, or <quote>systemd</quote>
  39. will also offer additional information.</para>
