HowTo: Finit on Debian Jessie
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
Mini HowTo using Finit to boot Debian GNU/Linux 8.5 (Jessie). 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.
|
|
|
|
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 XP.
|
|
|
|
Like the [Alpine HowTo](../alpine/), you need to install [libuEv][] and
|
|
[libite][], but since this is Debian — which takes infinite care of its
|
|
users ♥ ♥ ♥ — we don't need to worry about `pkg-config`. With Debian
|
|
everything just works™!
|
|
|
|
joachim@debian:~/finit$ ./configure --enable-x11-common-plugin
|
|
--enable-dbus-plugin --enable-alsa-utils-plugin --enable-rw-rootfs
|
|
--with-random-seed=/var/lib/urandom/random-seed
|
|
--with-heading="Debian GNU/Linux 8.5" --with-hostname=debian
|
|
|
|
Then simply install Finit. Since `/sbin/init` already exists you need
|
|
to add another entry to your GRUB config, in `/etc/grub.d/40_custom`,
|
|
or add `init=/sbin/finit` to your kernel line everytime you boot. Or,
|
|
you could just change the symlink.
|
|
|
|
However, before rebooting, make sure to read up on the comments I've
|
|
put in [/etc/finit.conf](finit.conf) install it and `start.d/` into
|
|
`/etc` on your system — and possibly even check out more of the docu
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Have fun!
