HowTo use Finit to boot a Debian GNU/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.

the very least:
Also, Finit has only been verified to work with the Debian *Server* ed.
I.e., during install — skip GNOME and other X stuff to get a plain and
usable Debian server install, which we can add X-Window to later :-)
Now, I started off by replacing systemd from the base install with the
old SysV init, using [this HowTo][1], you may not need to do that, but
for me it was easier — and also a great rebuttal to all the systemd
haters out there (yeah, even though I speak for the alternative PID 1
movement I don't hate systemd :P) it is possible to still run Debian
without systemd! Anyway, this text was based on that experience.

The following build and install script can be used to configure, build,
install and set up your system to run Finit:
The following script can then be used to configure, build, install and

Since `/sbin/init` already exists on your system the script creates
another entry in your GRUB config, in `/etc/grub.d/40_custom`, where
`init=/sbin/finit` is added to your kernel line. You could of course
also change the `/sbin/init` symlink and uninstall systemd/SysV init if
everything works fine, but that's up to you.
However, since `/sbin/init` already exists on your system the script

Before rebooting, read up on [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf) and notice
how `/etc/start.d/` and `/etc/rc.local` can be used to extend the boot
with simpler setup tasks on your system — see the docu for details.
Before rebooting, read up on [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf) and the new
`/etc/finit.d/*.conf` work. The build + install script above provides
the bare necessities, enabling a few `.conf` files. See `initctl list`
after boot for a list of enabled and available services.
Have fun!
