I wrote it. And in fact have gone back to using it recently. The ideas in the hint are still correct AFAIK, but there will be minor variations with the increments of packages. What I now do is to build LFS or CLFS according to the book, but omiting sysvinit and syslog. I even install the bootscripts! Then I install runit mostly into /sbin and /usr/sbin - I don't bother with dietlibc any more. My /etc/runit/1 script is just a list of calls to the LFS bootscripts: #!/bin/bash # system one time tasks PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountkernfs start /etc/rc.d/init.d/modules start /etc/rc.d/init.d/udev start /etc/rc.d/init.d/swap start /etc/rc.d/init.d/checkfs start /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountfs start /etc/rc.d/init.d/udev_retry start /etc/rc.d/init.d/cleanfs start /etc/rc.d/init.d/setclock start /etc/rc.d/init.d/console start /etc/rc.d/init.d/localnet start /etc/rc.d/init.d/sysctl start /etc/rc.d/init.d/random start touch /etc/runit/stopit chmod 0 /etc/runit/stopit The /etc/runit/3 script is similar, but with 'stop', and only for those scripts that have something in the stop branch of the case. #!/bin/bash exec 2>&1 PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin LAST=0 test -x /etc/runit/reboot && LAST=6 echo 'Waiting for services to stop...' sv -w196 force-stop /var/service/* sv exit /var/service/* /etc/rc.d/init.d/random stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountfs stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/swap stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/localnet stop echo 'Shutdown...' sleep 2 I don't usually build gettys any more, as I build Xorg-7.x in chroot and then just have xdm as a login. But this is my getty-1 run and finish scripts: #!/bin/sh exec /sbin/agetty 9600 tty1 #!/bin/sh exec utmpset -w tty1 I hope this helps, if you need more just ask.
