You got me interested and I just installed OpenRC on Devuan Jessie. I got the following message: ********************************************************************** *** WARNING: if you are replacing sysv-rc by OpenRC, then you must *** *** reboot immediately using the following command: *** for file in /etc/rc0.d/K*; do s=`basename $(readlink "$file")` ; /etc/init.d/$s stop; done *** once rebooted, you could safely backup and remove /etc/rc?.d *** ********************************************************************** Did you follow those instructions? I found that before I removed /etc/rc?.d, I was still running sysv init (but most/all services did not start -- ssh for example). After a subsequent reboot, I was running OpenRC.

To me this means I really do not have OpenRC, as conf.d is one of the key benefits of OpenRC in my opinion. -Rob
