minit
is a possible first process the kernel starts
to use minit as system init, first read available documentation in
/usr/share/doc/minit
and then add the parameter
init=/sbin/minit
to your kernel command line.
lilo
users need to add it to the append="something"
option in /etc/lilo.conf,
grub
users can just append it to their "kernel image options" lines.
USAGE
minit will by default do nothing except starting the minit service defined
in
/etc/minit/default
which usually contains a file named
depends
specifying which services are to be started at bootup.
