antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

This is the closest you will get to the current pre-beta status for runit as far as I can tell.Too late for this frugal installation, but I’ll give it a try on a new one later. Thank you.

MemberAfter the dist-upgrade was finished, I ran:
$ sudo apt-get install runit-service-boot-module runit-service-connman runit-service-dbus runit-service-dhcpcd runit-service-seatd runit-service-slimski runit-service-udevdFor the complete output, see the attachment.
There were some errors about connman at the end:Setting up runit-service-connman (0.0.1.1.0antix2) ... runit is running as the system's init system - starting service connmand fail: /etc/sv/connmand: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist dpkg: error processing package runit-service-connman (--configure): installed runit-service-connman package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: runit-service-connman E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)However, I was able to reboot. Wifi also works properly.
Tomorrow, I’m going to do a fresh frugal installation of the other kernel. Should I try to change antiX repo before or after update?

I’ve looked at the trixie dev runit-service-connman package & there seems to be an error in the postinst script

MemberAs I have already written, if the home directory is kept in a separate partition, once you have already booted the modern kernel (6.6), you can’t boot anymore the legacy kernel (5.10) with persistence. Note that this issue doesn’t affect antiX-23.2-runit (in that case, the modern kernel is 6.1).
I have also written about all the cases of changing kernels at boot on a laptop (also confirmed on a second laptop) with a full/normal & two frugal (modern & legacy kernel) installations, all antiX-25.a1. Now, I’m writing about the same laptop with an antiX-23.2-runit full/normal & two antiX-25.a1 frugal (modern & legacy kernel) installations. In this case, the only issue is when you boot the frugal installation of the modern kernel (6.6) after the full/normal installation of the modern kernel (6.1), but it’s fixable by the “Set Up Live Persistence” tool (like Case #1).
My general conclusion is that all the issues involve the kernel 6.6.antiX utilities for processing PDF files (posted by ChPol)
