  <title>Introduction</title>

  <para>This chapter details how to install and configure the LFS-Bootscripts
  package. Most of these scripts will work without modification, but a few require
  additional configuration files because they deal with hardware-dependent
  information.</para>

  <para>System-V style init scripts are employed in this book because they are
  widely used. For additional options, a hint detailing the BSD style init setup
  is available at <ulink url="&hints-root;bsd-init.txt"/>.
  Searching the LFS mailing lists for <quote>depinit</quote> will also offer
  additional choices.</para>

  <para>If using an alternative style of init scripts, skip this chapter
  and move on to <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
