<para>The BLFS Bootscripts package contains the init
scripts that are used throughout the book. It is assumed that you will be
using the BLFS Bootscripts package in conjunction with a compatible
LFS-Bootscripts package. Refer to

information on the LFS-Bootscripts package.</para>

<para>The BLFS Bootscripts package will be used throughout the BLFS book
for startup scripts. Unlike LFS, each init script has a separate install target
in the BLFS Bootscripts package. It is recommended you keep the package source
directory around until completion of your BLFS system. When a script is
requested from BLFS Bootscripts, simply change to the directory and as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, execute the given
<command>make install-<replaceable>&lt;init-script&gt;</replaceable></command>
command. This command installs the init script to its proper location (along
with any auxiliary configuration scripts) and also creates the appropriate
symlinks to start and stop the service at the appropriate run-level.</para>
<note>
<para>It is advisable to peruse each bootscript before installation to
ascertain that it satisfies your need. Also verify that the start and stop
symlinks it creates match your preferences.</para>
