I, on the other hand, always use it the very first time I bring a system
up!  It gives me a chance to check it out, make some last minute mods
that may be needed for that particular box or how I intend using it,
before runlevel 3 wants the world at its feet.

Yes, I understand that it works.  My question though was _why_ LFS chose
rcS.d, inviting that confusion, when rcsysinit.d always worked just
fine.  Is there some future requirement for rcS.d, or something?
