LSB-V3 Installation: NOTE: initd-tools must be installed prior to installation of these scripts. initd-tools installation: Download initd-tools from: http://www.dwcab.com/downloads/initd-tools/initd-tools-0.1.3.tar.gz ./configure && make && make check && make install Inline installation of lsb-v3 bootscripts: sudo make install After LFS installation of lsb-v3 bootscripts: for file in /etc/rc.d /etc/sysconfig/rc /etc/sysconfig/modules \ /etc/sysconfig/createfiles do mv $file $file.bak done && make install There is no longer an upgrade path for existing installations. You will have to reinstall any bootscripts installed by BLFS or any self written scripts. Fortunately, this will soon be very easy for BLFS scripts as a contrib directory containing lsb-v3 scripts will be added in the near future. That's it!
