+runit can replace init or its service supervision can be used with traditional
+init.  runit is compatible with djb's daemontools.
+
+By default, this slackbuild sets-up a basic configuration to replace init with
+runit. To disable this, pass CONFIG=no to the script.
+
+To use runit with init, just call it
+  /sbin/runsvdir-start &
+
+To replace init with runit, reboot and enter init=/sbin/runit-init in the Lilo
+prompt.
+
+Alternatively, if you do not have a multi boot system, you may append this line
+in /etc/lilo.conf
+
+E.g:
+  append="vt.default_utf8=0 init=/sbin/runit-init"
+
+Then run lilo:
+  # lilo -v
+
+Or just replace /sbin/init with /sbin/runit-init
+  # mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.sysv
+  # cp /sbin/runit-init /sbin/init
+Be warned that if you had booted with the original init, the system may refuse
+to reboot, therefore boot from runit-init first.
+
+To migrate a service to runit, switch it off and disable it as usual, place
+an initialisation script called run under a suitably named directory under
+/etc/sv/ and symlink it to /service.
+
+E.g.:
+  # /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager stop
+  # chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager
+  # mkdir /etc/sv/networkmanager/
+
+Write a script to start the service in /etc/sv/networkmanager/run such as
+  #!/bin/sh
+  exec NetworkManager -n > /dev/null 2>&1
+
+Give it executable permission:
+  # chmod +x  /etc/sv/networkmanager/run
+
+Link it to /service and NetworkManager will start in a few seconds and enabled
+under current runlevel
+  # ln -s /etc/sv/networkmanager /service
+
+Hint:
+To Reboot:
+  # runit-init 6
+To Halt:
+  # runit-init 0
+
+A /usr/sbin/shutdown shell script has been included with the configuration
+files if you enabled them.
