Gonna Try Runit on my next LFS Build

Alright guys, you sorta twisted my arm here so I decided to give Runit a try

As an aside, I think you guys should see if you can make the Runit thread a sticky.

Another aside, I know you guys were also looking at other inits to play with; have you considered the following (just some I read about recently - don't know too much about them):

OpenRC
sinit
minit

Be advised you should use version 1.0 rather than the SVN we have up.

Be prepared to do a little grunt work with it though. Only one run file should be handled differently than the book. When you get to the OpenSSH configuration, just install it and the documentation as well as the initial key, afterwards do not set up anything else until after you boot it for the first time, or OpenSSH might crash.

However if at anytime you need help, just ask.
