   Group networking scripts and explain how the are configured.

 Also, I'm thinking of moving the current 'network' config file to 
 init_params since it is only defines one environment variable.  If we 
 leave it as a separate file, it should be renamed to 'hostname'.

 I also want to put the configuration of sysklogd in init_params.  That 
 requires a minor change to the init.d/sysklogd script that I haven't 
 made yet.

 I deleted the contrib section because I think it has mostly been 
 incorporated into the new scripts.  For LSB, we need to add init-tools 
 to BLFS.
And add in /lib/lsb/initd_functions (either by symlink if it is extended 
to account for all of the functions, or by separate file) and LSB headers.

 Feedback is welcome.

I didn't get a chance to install yet, but did a quick walk through, and 
barring any simple errors, they look good, nice and clean too. More time 
tomorrow hopefully. Suggestions: need to add LSB headers to all of the 
scripts -- even though they are not LSB scripts (and LSB does not 
require them to be), we still need to be able to track the dependencies 
in order to use the LSB tools {install,remove}_initd if you still want 
to go after LSB as a possible goal to be completed in BLFS. Boot logging 
would be a major request by me as it's been requested several times in 
the past. Every distro provides this now and it might be expected by 
some users (especially nice to have on headless systems). Also, since 
if{up,down} will be system tools, they need to have help text added at 
very least on error...but wait to see what happens when/if the single 
config is done.

I'd look into it, but I just don't think either are quite ready for 
prime time, besides I like the idea of runlevels too much to give them 
up just yet.

I've done it the other way around.  I've installed them, but not done a 
walk through yet.  It installs and boots the latest LFS-trunk without 
issues.  I'll see if I can get a walkthrough done over the next couple 
of days.

Regards,

Matt.

Why are we not just using the LSB scripts? I thought we had some pretty good 
momentum going there.
