minit(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  minit(8)

NAME
       minit - a UNIX process no 1

SYNOPSIS
       minit

DESCRIPTION
       minit is a possible first process the kernel starts

       to use minit as system init, first read available documentation in /usr/share/doc/minit and then add the parameter init=/sbin/minit to your
       kernel command line.

       lilo users need to add it to the append="something" option in /etc/lilo.conf,

       grub users can just append it to their "kernel image options" lines.

USAGE
       minit will by default do nothing except starting the minit service defined in  /etc/minit/default  which  usually  contains  a  file  named
       depends specifying which services are to be started at bootup.
