Not sure if this idea has been discussed before, but: Wouldn't it be an idea to have a "virtual/init" which depends on 1 of: - OpenRC - Systemd - ..... (whichever other one) Put "virtual/init" in the @system-set. Don't put either OpenRC or Systemd in the stage3-file. (Or have 2 stage3 files, one with OpenRC and one with Systemd) Then, during the install, the user has to choose one of these and install it. The virtual could even use the "systemd" USE-flag to decide which one to use. -- Joost
