You're right. The openrc package is not in the CD or DVD. It will only be installed if you selected a mirrorl.

You can still switch to openrc if you have an internet connection. Make sure sources.list points to devuan repos and install openrc. (See https://devuan.org/get-devuan for examples.)

I found an entry in the installation log that the package "openrc" was not found.

I will try to record a video and then watch it in slow motion. With these settings the system works faster than 2.0.
Thank you all very much for your support!

Just another data point: I installed using the ascii 2.1 iso, selected the openrc option, and it all worked fine.

How to determine if openrc is running?

When booting past expanding the initramfs, you should see a message about init 2.88 starting and two lines deeper openrc 0.23 starting

With the 2.1 point release, openrc no longer requires an expert install. Even the graphical installer offers the option. Remember that openrc is still tied to sysvinit scripts:

This from https://dev1galaxy.org/search.php?actio … er_id=5727 titled "Solving Init Compatibility":

Openrc
Openrc is provided as an alternative service manager from the Devuan installer, which is already a step up from Debian. However, this is far from a replacement to sysvinit. In fact, it simply runs atop it. Sysvinit scripts are still used during initialization, and no openrc run scripts are provided as replacements for the various sysvinit scripts used in starting services. In recent versions of Openrc, it comes with its own init. This skips inittab and boots openrc directly, but since it still uses sysvinit scripts, it’s noticeably slower. Also, without providing getty scripts, the user won’t even reach the login prompt. Gentoo provides all the run scripts we could ever need, and so bringing them over is not an impossibility. Why bother using openrc run scripts and using openrc as an init and a service manager? The scripts are much easier to read, and process supervision would be handled much more cleanly. There’s also faster boot times and better overall performance, but your mileage may vary on those claims.

What did you do that's different?

I used expert install. im not find any .deb packet on netinstall iso and dvd with name openrc, maybe installer downloads from network?

I'm sorry, I didn’t say it right, previously installed 2.0. Yes, with formatting the disk.

I am asking because in ascii 2.0 you had to do an expert install and select openrc. Looks like the installation with 2.1 has changed, the question is asked in the normal install already.

Just tried 2.1 amd64 in VBox: selection works fine, openrc 0.23 is starting.

I reinstalled ascii 2.1 with use openrc init option(devuan_ascii_2.1_i386_netinst.iso). But the openrc does not load after installation, it still works sysvinit.
