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.
