I am proud to announce the release of my UNOFFICIAL antix 23.1 remaster which includes 4 inits that can be selected through grub in an MX style grub menu

This includes many refinements from all of my previous s6-rc/s6-66 respins most notably:
– Everything has been installed from debs – my sources are available in my experimental-s6 repo http://deb-s6-rc-66-init-experimental.duckdns.org:8080/dists/experimental-s6/antix-s6/

– I have created a simple script “s6-db-reload” which should make the recompiling of s6-rc databases much safer & easier, just running one command ‘s6-db-reload’.
– The above script requires my new version of s6-rc-init & s6-rc-services to be installed
– Antix’s runit related debs have been repackaged to remove conflicts with sysvinit, my limited testing reveals that runit & sysvinit can both run very stable on the same image.
– Once again this image can be considered a “developers image”, it has all the tools & libraries to compile all of the packages in my experimental-s6 repo.

To enable the multi-init grub menu after first install from iso just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-multi-init-enabler

I hope the antix community enjoys this

Edit 05/02/2024
* Uploaded i386 build equivalent to amd64
* Re-uploaded minor bugfix release for amd64
* poweroff & reboot commands now work as init agnostic
* lsb-release file corrected to report correct strings for inxi
* Shortcut icons for switching menus have been removed – script in post 2 cans still be used for those who would like them back.
