HowTo: Finit on Alpine Linux 3.4-3.6
====================================
Mini HowTo using Finit to boot an Alpine Linux system. It is assumed
that the user has already installed a compiler, C library header files,
and other tools needed to build a GNU configure based project.

default they install to `/usr/local` and Alpine's `pkg-config` does not

The bundled `build.sh` script can be used to configure and build finit:
The plugins are optional, but you may need D-Bus and X11 if you want to
run X-Window, the other configure flags are however required.
alpine:~/finit# make all install

The installation skips `/sbin/init`, because it already exists, and
Alpine is hard coded to use it. So you have to change the symlink

Before rebooting, make sure to set up a [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf),
and [/etc/finit.d/](finit.d) for your services, possibly also an
[/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot set up and initialization like
keyboard language etc. You can use the files in this directory as
templates -- check them both if they need to be tweaked for your
installation, you may not run Dropbear SSH or speak Swedish ...

this directory. Notice the symlinks in `/etc/finit.d/`, you can create
them yourself or add them at runtime using `initctl enable SERVICE`.
You can also use a standard [/etc/rc.local](rc.local) for one-shot set
