antix downloads runit instead of sysv version [Solved]

[nadir]

As the thread title says i have choosen antix-sysv-version from here:
https://antixlinux.com/download/
the very first entry, for 64 bit, which links to here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix- ... o/download
and it seems to download the runit version.

what makes the version you have seem like the runit one?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix- ... o/download

i followed that link from your post and seem to have downloaded the sysv iso. i ran it in a vm and got:

Code: Select all

dpkg -S $(which init)
sysvinit-core: /sbin/init

as well a good check on the sha256 sum on my installed system:

Code: Select all

sha256sum -c antiX-23.2_x64-full.iso.sha256 
antiX-23.2_x64-full.iso: OK

whereas the runit iso shows runit as the init in conky as well as the result of:

Code: Select all

ps -p 1 -c
    PID CLS PRI TTY          TIME CMD
      1 TS   19 ?        00:00:01 runit

Known issue.
From the release notes (who ever reads them?.....)

https://antixlinux.com/antix-23-2-released/

Known issues

* /etc/lsb-release shows antiX-23.1 rather than 23.2. User can edit (as root/sudo) this file if they wish.
* antiX-23.2-full_x64.iso (sysVinit) does not include the latest menu generation. To include it simply install antix23-desktop-files from our repos.
* The sysVinit iso boot menus wrongly says ‘runit’ version.

Note: After installation of antiX-23.2_x64-full editions, the default kernel will be Modern 6.1 even if Legacy 5.10 was booted during the live boot.

Thanks.
After i made the post, after downloading antix like 3 times, i booted it fully and realized it was only the info on the boot screen, but it seemed to really use sysv.
If the iso would have been for me, i wouldn't have minded at all, but it is for a friend, so for me it is more easy to administer his system, or help with it, if he has sysv.

But yes, you are correct, i didn't read release notes (to make it worse: i never do), and most of the time i get away with it. This time i didn't, it is my fault. Thanks for making it clear it really uses sysv (i was not fully sure yet).
