This chapter will create the necessary scripts that are run at boot time.
|
|
|
|
|
These scripts perform tasks such as remounting the root file system
|
|
|
|
|
mounted read-only by the kernel into read-write mode, activating the swap
|
|
|
|
|
partition(s), running a check on the root file system to make sure it's
|
|
|
|
|
intact, setting up networking and starting the daemons that the system uses.

We will be using SysV style init scripts. We have chosen this style because it
|
|
|
|
|
is widely used and we feel confortable with it. If you want to try something
|
|
|
|
|
else, someone has written an LFS-Hint on <ulink
