The lfs-bootscripts package that was used in LFS also contains bootscripts for BLFS. The lfs-bootscripts package will be used throughout the rest of the book for startup scripts. It is recomended you keep the package source directory around until completion of your BLFS system. When a script is requested from lfs-bootscritps, simply change to the directory and execute the given make install-<init-script> command. This command installs the init script to its proper location (along with any auxillary configuration scripts) and also creates the appropriate symlinks to start and stop the service at the appropriate run-level. If you are installing BLFS from an older version of LFS, see the INSTALL included in the package for upgrade instructions. Refer to for more information on the lfs-bootscripts package. 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.
