Originally, I really had no idea what I was referring to specifically. After some more poking around, I think you’re right. I said sysv-rc because I noticed that installing the openrc package would only uninstall/conflict with the sysv-rc package and not the rest of sysvinit. Hopefully that clears things up a bit. —Tom _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
