Echg, you don't know how loadproc from the LFS initscripts works: It
automaticaly finds the daemon to start, so seding is not necessary.

You don't know how LFS initscripts are layed out. The main init script
is installed into /etc/rc.d/init.d, and symbolic links are created in
/etc/rc.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,sysinit}.d dirs. The form they are in is
this:

{Either S for start, or K for kill}{number that decinisates when the
script will run}{bootscript name}

... and the all link to the initscipt in init.d.

Oh, and why is this in make install? Because it would be a hassale for
the sysadmin to create those symbolic links manualy.

Those are the reasons why you should use my patch.
