(?) Changing init system from busybox to vanilla runit about init HOT 6 CLOSED

That's true, you will also need to run

It should be as simple as installing the runit package from Community and running kiss a runit /usr/bin/init (kiss a with no arguments will tell you if there are any other binaries you must swap to). @cemkeylan, care to confirm? Documentation is lacking here, will write a page for the Wiki about this. 👍

Page is live (though only covers runit for the time being. Will be expanded over time). https://k1ss.org/wiki/init/changing-init

I have also sent you a mail patch for the wiki including a more detailed page for switching init systems and also a wiki page for sysmgr
