Or you can tinker with the initscripts. Or you can also use another distribution. Or Linux From Scratch. Or whatever you like :) We all could do that, and let Debian/Devuan go to hell. My computing would actually be just fine with OpenBSD... Unfortunately, most of this thread has been just about "oh look how cool MY setup is, oh I went around that, oh I tried this and that, oh I want to have /var on a tmpfs, oh I mount /usr over NFS and you should try it as well..." and so on and so forth. IMHO, this is mostly out of scope, and does not help Devuan improving by a single bit. I understand it's hard to appreciate for most of us, but putting together a distro is not about catering for the needs of just one user: there is an entire world of possibilities outside :) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
