    5 <para>The scripts included for packages such as <xref linkend="gpm"/>
    6 and <xref linkend="alsa"/> are based around the template supplied with
    7 the lfs-bootscripts package from version 3.2 and later of the <acronym>
    8 LFS</acronym> book. Note that this is lfs-bootscripts-1.6 and later (the old
    9 numbering changed as of <acronym>LFS</acronym>-3.2).  The scripts won't work
    10 with versions of <acronym>LFS</acronym> before 3.2 because of a change in their
    11 organization with the new scripts.  However, it should be trivial to adapt the
    12 scripts if needed for older <acronym>LFS</acronym> versions.</para>
     5<para>The lfs-bootscripts package that was used in <acronym>LFS</acronym> also
     6contains bootscripts for <acronym>BLFS</acronym>.
     7The lfs-bootscripts package will be used throughout the rest of
     8the book for startup scripts.  It is recomended you keep the package
     9source directory around until completion of your
     10<acronym>BLFS</acronym> system.  When a script is requested from
     11lfs-bootscritps, simply change to the directory and execute the given
     12'make install-&lt;init-script&gt;' command.</para>
     13
     14<para>If you are installing <acronym>BLFS</acronym>
