https://antixlinux.com/download/
the very first entry, for 64 bit, which links to here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/antix- ... o/download

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