Wouldn't this be a BLFS issue?  It's a good idea, but I don't use dhcp 
myself.  It makes it hard to ssh into the system.

This should have happened long ago.

Agree.  I never liked the directory structure for network startup.

I'm not sure about the name rc.local, but I like the general idea.

Again, BLFS, but I agree in principle.  OTOH you may want to keep an ssh 
session active when restarting sshd.  I suppose this could always be 
done with an ssh session to a non-standard port, but it warrants a bit 
more discussion.

The book says:

"Computer instructions may be extracted from the book under the MIT 
License."

As far as I'm concerned the scripts are public domain and don't need a 
license.

Why don't you post your scripts so we can look at them in more detail.
