-This chapter will setup basic networking. Although the system might not be
-connected to a network, Linux software uses network functions anyway.
-We'll be installing at least the local loopback device and a network
-card as well if applicable. Also the proper boot scripts will be created
-so that networking will be enabled during boot time.
+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
+url="http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs-hints/BSD-Init.txt">BSD style init
+scripts</ulink>.
