I've used this few years, and then switch back to using kernel param init=3D instead. This is because your linux distribution =66rom time to time may wish to update sysvinit package, and so it will overwrite /sbin/init. And next reboot will be "surprise!", unless you really-really careful and detect sysvinit upgrade and replace /sbin/init with runit-init again after upgrade but before reboot. I've no idea how often sysvinit package upgraded in other linux distributions, but in Gentoo it upgrade, or at least recompile/reinstall every few months. --=20 WBR, Alex. --eLx2Oic5rP1+EtIt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBG87lcVItT6Fy+r6QRAlIJAKDoaZysgr9rgS8C9IhKHwlC/mp9BACggKvE sdZ6BqlsycKnfRXC1yEAjQU= =oOrj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eLx2Oic5rP1+EtIt--
