-<para>We have chosen to use System-V style init scripts simply because they
-are widely used and we feel comfortable with them. If you would prefer to try
-something else: Marc Heerdink has written a hint about BSD style init scripts,
-to be found at <ulink url="&hints-root;bsd-init.txt"/>. And if you'd like
-something more radical, search the LFS mailing lists for <quote>depinit</quote>.
