10 <para>In this chapter we will install the bootscripts and set them up
11 properly. Most of these scripts will work without needing to modify them, but
12 a few require additional configuration files, since they deal with hardware
13 dependent information.</para>
15 <para>We have chosen to use System-V style init scripts simply because they
16 are widely used and we feel comfortable with them. If you would prefer to try
17 something else: Marc Heerdink has written a hint about BSD style init scripts,
18 to be found at <ulink url="&hints-root;bsd-init.txt"/>. And if you'd like
19 something more radical, search the LFS mailing lists for <quote>depinit</quote>.
22 <para>If you decide to use some other style of init scripts, you can skip this
23 chapter and move on to <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
