Hi Christoph On Ubuntu the original sysvinit package has become unusable so for ubuntuBSD we need a large patch to restore it: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntubsd/ubuntubsd/patches-xenial/view/head:/sysvinit.diff What's wrong with the current openrc package? It worked fine in my tests. I also managed to make it work with BusyBox Init, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827733 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827718 -- Jon Boden ubuntuBSD -- The power of FreeBSD kernel with familiarity of Ubuntu OS! http://www.ubuntubsd.org/ -- https://twitter.com/ubuntuBSD
