Then automagicall init is used instead of systemd. I used to put init=/lib/sysvinit/init into /etc/default/grub, but on the last machine where I did the move, I skipped it and I still get init as process #1. I have been using this for more than an year now and don't see why one should go for devuan. For normal average use root and /opt/trinity are about 10G, so if you give 20G for root partition, should be sufficient. regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
