Hi,

I have just started investigating s6. I installed all the
programs and, using the s6-linux-init quickstart page, appeared to have
things working.

The first few scripts I converted from svinit ( virtualfs and remount
rw) compiled and run as expected but the first script using a program
on /usr/sbin would not compile, insisting there was no such file.

I thought this may be a problem with paths and symlinks ( in LFS /bin
and /sbin are symlinks to /usr/{s}bin) so I decided to rebuild s6,s6-rc
and s6-linux-init with the --enable-absolute-paths option. 

Now the quickstart recipe can't work because there is no
/etc/s6-linux-init directory which I assume the s6-linux-init install
should have created. There were numerous install warnings about
programs not being updated.

Is there a trick to re installing the s6 programs or have I just made
an obvious mistake?
