Description

A couple of the pages in the Bootscripts chapter appear to be arranged in a somewhat random order. The page on how the bootscripts work is followed by a page on Udev info, then a bunch of bootscript config stuff, then another page on Udev (Custom Symlinks). Also, the network config pages are split up by the Custom Symlinks page. I suggest moving the "Custom Symlinks" page to right above the "localnet" page, and "Device and Module Handling" immediately before "Custom Symlinks". In other words...

Introduction LFS-Bootscripts-20090102 How Do These Bootscripts Work? Configuring the setclock Script Configuring the Linux Console Configuring the sysklogd Script Creating the /etc/inputrc File The Bash Shell Startup Files Device and Module Handling on an LFS System Creating Custom Symlinks to Devices Configuring the localnet Script Customizing the /etc/hosts File Configuring the network Script

To go a bit further, the "Bash Shell Startup Files" should probably be renamed something like "Locale Setup" since that's what it really is anyway - there are really only a couple short paragraphs about the Bash Startup Files in general, followed by a long list of info about configuring the locale. Alternatively, the general info about Bash Startup Files (perhaps with a little more detail, and certainly with an additional link to the "Bash Startup Files" page in BLFS) could stay where it is, and the rest, about setting up the locale, could be put into a new page.

Any other thoughts (even if it's just "this is a waste of time")?
