I've forgotten how I got it into the menus before:) I lost that lfs tree during some gyrations with my build system:( I added the line into the build/.config file, but I'm sure thats not all it needs. I also need to do the insserv thing when setup on target too. Thanks-

It's best just to execute "make prepare" to get the scripts re-ordered.

For the configuration part, take a look into build/scripts/configuration
