n/a - June 26, 2004

        * Fixed font for UK in /etc/sysconfig/console

n/a - June 23, 2004

        * Fixed a typo in the hotplug installation procedure

n/a - June 21, 2004

        * Re-ordered the "mount" and "echo" commands in the udev script, to
          prevent a possible race
        * Converted the udev script to use udevsend/udevd
        * Moved removal of /fastboot and /forcefsck to just after the root fs

        * Cleaned and tweaked both the output and actions of cleanfs
        * Removed the disabling of hotplug from sendsignals
        * Removed anything that might call "rmmod" in hotplug, since rmmod is

          stop argument from runlevels 0 and 6
        * Fixed previous modifications to the udev and cleanfs scripts

n/a - June 20, 2004

        * Rolled back to the /dev/.udev.tdb check from 2.1.1, since the new
          one doesn't work as well, and the bug that caused it to change is
          now fixed

        * Added '> /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug' to sendsignals, to disable hotplug
          events, which may start up new daemons
        * Added elementry bootup logging support.  If it can write to
          /var/log/boot.log, it will

        * Added a example script for /etc/sysconfig/createfiles
        * Added a check for /sys before mounting sysfs
        * Added -t noramfs to umount on /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountfs.
          This will prevent /dev from being unmounted, if /proc/mounts
          is symlinked to /etc/mtab

n/a - April 18, 2004

        * Small fix to a if statement in netfs

n/a - April 17, 2004

        * Add proper error checking to the mountfs script when writing out mtab
        * Add more comments to the udev script, and conditionalize various
          things that should've been done this way in the first place
        * Include a template module auto-loading configuration file instead of
          having syntax comments in the script itself

n/a - April 12, 2004

        * Added a automatic modules loading script to the contrib directory
          submitted by Zack
        * Edited mountkernfs, so that if you can mount sysfs on /sys, it will
          be mounted at boottime.  Should not affect 2.4 systems
        * Since all entries are added to /etc/mtab, we should not require
          the NO_FS variable.  It has been removed from mountfs
        * Added the udev script into the contrib directory, submitted by Zack

2.0.3 - April 8, 2004

        * Updated cleanfs, so it can create devices.  Supplied by Zack
        * Tagged as 2.0.3

n/a - March 31, 2004

        * Changed "Press Enter" on unknown error to white
        * Moved S10swap to S20swap.  When udev is added, it has to be
          ran before swap is setup

n/a - March 29, 2004

        * Fixed the rc5.d symlink for ntp so it creates S26ntp instead
          of S26npt
        * Moved S20mountkernfs to S00mountkernfs in rcsysinit.d.  Will help in
          the addition of udev in the future.

n/a - March 27, 2004

        * Changed gdm path from hardcoded to program name.  There are 2 spots
          gnome can be installed

n/a - March 26, 2004

        * Updated fam daemon script.  It now uses the famd daemon instead of fam

n/a - March 24, 2004

        * Removed mount command out of nfs.  the netfs script already handles
          this

2.0.2 - March 24, 2004

        * Edited cleanfs to solve a problem.  [if /tmp does not exist, it
          could run the find command on the root filesystem]
        * Tagged as 2.0.2

2.0.1 - March 24, 2004

        * Found typo in BLFS MySQL Script.
        * Tagged as 2.0.1

2.0.0 - March 23, 2004

        * Tagged as 2.0.0, no changes from 2.0.0-pre2

2.0.0-pre2 - March 23, 2004

        * Cleaned the /tmp directory on bootup.  find command supplied by Zack
        * Added a script which can automatically create files and directories
          on startup.  [Handles files/directories, permissions, and user/group].
          Created by Zack
        * Added blfs/init.d/fam script
        * Tagged as 2.0.0-pre2

n/a - March 20, 2004

        * Added create-service-dir target and removed from create-dirs
        * Changed service script install targets to use
          create-service-dir
        * Added check for dhcpcd service script for stale pid file 
          Suggested by Jeremy
        * Added ifconfig to ipx service script for hosting device not up

n/a - March 19, 2004

        * Added support for ETCDIR, and DESTDIR in the Makefile,
          compliments of Tushar
        * Renamed mountproc to mountkernfs
        * Updated the README file
        * Coloured the print_error_message in functions red
        * added stop to the setclock script
        * changed echo > to > in cleanfs, suggested by winkie
        * BLFS Scripts Added,  collected by Zack
        * Edited killproc, so it checks for running pids, rather then
          the completion of the above kill command.  Suggested by Zack
        * Added network services found in blfs, removed adsl.  Submitted by
          DJ.

1.99.4 - March 17, 2004

        * Fixed one last halt line in checkfs script
        * Moved the directory structure around
        * Tagged as development release 1.99.4

n/a - February 28, 2004

        * Added stty sane to the top of rc.d/init.d/rc.  Hopefully, this will
          fix the problems
        * Also changed all instances of <ctrl-j> back to enter

1.99.3 - February 23, 2004

        * Tagged as development release 1.99.3

n/a - February 19, 2004

        * Fixed checkfs script, so it will no longer continue to boot after a
          failure in the init.d/checkfs script.  Tested with the help of Andre
          Müller.  Fix suggested by Zack

n/a - February 7, 2004

        * Added -s onto grep on network stop
        * Replaced a few more enter's with ctrl-j

1.99.2 - February 6, 2004

        * Added -s onto grep in network start
        * Tagged as development release 1.99.2

n/a - February 4, 2004

        * Fixed $WARNING $NORMAL and $ERROR lines, broken by changes in
          functions
        * Changed above fixes to work with ash
        * Fixed checkfs symlink in Makefile
        * functions is no longer installed as executable
        * Added a check to checkfs, for errors above 16.  These are caused by
          being unable to run fsck, either due to user input, or a unfunctional
          linux system

1.99.1 - February 2, 2004

        * Tagged as development release 1.99.1

n/a - February 2, 2004:

        * Added -d to umount in mountfs.
        * Fixed network shutdown script
        * Fixed Makefile rc.6 to reboot
        * Added -s flag to grep command in rc.d/init.d/network -
          suppresses an error if no ifconfig.* files exist

n/a - January 30, 2004:

        * Reorganized the network system to accept multiple services.
        * Ash Compliancy
        * Modified some scripts to follow template
        * Reorganized functions, based upon Ash Compliancy Patch
        * Added a sleep 5 to failure for evaulate_retval, and changed
          evaulate_retval to return true instead of false.  Instead, a
          exit 1 will indicate the script terminated abnormally, causing
          your system to wait until you hit ctrl-J
        * Switched "Press enter to continue" to "Press <ctrl-j> to continue"
        * replaced 3 with $KILLDELAY in sendsignals
        * mountfs does not mount network filesystems [identified by _netdev
          in /etc/fstab]
        * removed unneded touch out of cleanfs

n/a - January 30, 2004:

        * New maintainers for the lfs-bootscripts package are:
        Jeremy Utley (jeremy@linuxfromscratch.org)
        Nathan Coulson (nathan@linuxfromscratch.org)

1.11 - February 3rd, 2003:

        * /etc/mtab is now a real file and is handled correctly so there are
        no errors even when the machine has crashed.

1.10 - September 12th, 2002:

        * Fixed up checkfs to work with non-ext2 filesystems too (such as
        minix).

1.9 - April 5th, 2002:

        * reloadproc function had a missing '=' in the "failure 1" command (it
          should be failure=1)

        * When script exists with unexpected value, you have to hit "Enter" to
          continue, not just a random key as printed on the screen.

        * Moved K10sysklogd, K20sendsignals, K30mount and K40swap to
          K40sysklogd, K50sendsignals, K60mount, K70swap

        * Changed the #!/bin/sh lines to #!/bin/bash - /bin/sh may not be
          linked to bash but to some other shell of your choice. These scripts
          are written to work with bash, so you can't just run them when
          /bin/sh -> csh or ash or whatever else tickles your fancy. This
          change should fix that.

1.8 - March 14th, 2002:

        * Fixed the getpids function call so PPID's would be taken into account
          properly.

        * Added the 'contrib' directory with other people's bootscript
          implementations.

1.7 - March 10th, 2002:

        * Used code from Matthias Benkmann's simpleinit-msb @
          http://winterdrache.de/linux/newboot/index.html mainly for improved
          killproc function handling

        * When a requested process isn't running, or is already running, a
          warning "Not running" or "Already running" will be displayed. This
          was out of allignment due to a missing $CURS_UP

        * Removed "||exit" from ifup and ifdown scripts. They are useless.

        * Changed the loadkeys script to run "loadkeys -d" and removed the need
          for the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file. The kbd patch fixes the
          "loadkeys -d" behaviour.

1.6 - February 26th, 2002:

        * replaced -o %PPID with -o $PPID throughout the functions script. This
        construct does what it's supposed to do (don't take PPID into account
        because this would fail if a running daemon and the bootscript have
        the same name).

        * added 'restart' to the swap script

        * instead of using 'echo -n' to supress newlines so the [ OK ] and
          related messages allign properly, substitute this with a single echo
          command that simply goes one line up before outputting anything. This
          also has the benefit that when programs have their own output (like
          swapon, fsck and loadkeys), there won't be an unwanted blank line
          between the program's output and the [ OK ] et all. messages.

1.5 - February 2nd, 2002:

        * added 'exit 1' to the statusproc function when there aren't enough
        parameters passed to it (such as the name of process to check for)

1.4 - February 2nd, 2002:

        * when /fastboot is detected and the message about it is printed,
          don't run 'exit 1' else the rc script will cause a [FAILED] to
          be printed which is undesired in this case.

1.3 - January 30th, 2002:
        * network script: changed default route detection by using the same
          method as used when starting the script: check if the GATEWAY
          variable is set

        * removed the emptying of /etc/mtab since it's a symlink to
         /proc/mounts now

        * added the mountproc script which mounts the proc system. This is done
          because we need proc mounted even before the mountfs script is ran
          (now that /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/mounts)

        * removed all absolute paths from command calls

        * added umask 022 and PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" to the
          functions script. Every file now sources this so that umask and PATH
          are set correctly

1.2 - January 26th, 2002:
        * network script: detect if a default route is set before removing it
