- Warning
The scripts will be installed under ${prefix}/etc but init will not find them unless they are in /etc.
The etc directory contains the initscripts I use on my computer, which is connected to no network other than occasionally the internet by a modem, so it probably is not the place to start if you're doing diskless booting or something ;-)
To install,
# make install-initscripts
will install things in ${prefix}/etc/, including a few scripts that are specific to my machine (in etc/services/local), which are probably a bit counterproductive unless you've actually stolen my computer.
