bootlocal.sh was made for people who need to load extra modules, or mounts, or things that affect the system,e.g., daemons. For example I use it for my iwconfig commands to specifiy which wireless access point I use. Also, I put extra mount commands there. If you recall there have been posts about how to have some drives mounted when /etc/fstab is rewritten upon boot. bootlocal.sh works well there for both liveCD and frugal installed, as well as traditionally hard drive installed systems. The challenge is always to try give more functionally to liveCD, but try to keep things consistent for hard drive, and now frugal installed systems. Otherwise support via this board can become confusing.
You would not start an xterm there. .xinitrc is made for auto stating x window programs such as an xterm.
