Section 7.4.2 nitpick

Description

Noted in the first paragraph of this section:

"the data which the built-in drivers registered with sysfs are available to userspace processes "

There's a mismatch in this sentence. "the data" is typically considered singular, but "are" is typically used as in a plural capacity. Suggest s/are/is/

Also noted in this section (next to last paragraph):

"To solve this, the S05modules bootscript was added to the lfs-bootscripts package"

Most other references in the book (all other?) treat the lfs-bootscripts package as a proper noun, meaning it should be capitalized appropriately. (LFS-Bootscripts)

s/the perhaps? That certainly makes more sense to me, as 'data' is certainly plural in this context.

As for lfs-bootscripts, yes it should be captialized.

Actually, I believe now after reviewing my entry, I was simply wrong.

"The data" can be considered plural.

Your call on removing the "the".
