Does /lib/sysvinit/init even exist on your setup?

Yes it exists.

Edit:
Just because of curiosity I checked an other devuan computer (desktop) here. Strange thing is that there the /lib/sysvinit/ does NOT exist.
The only difference with my laptop is that I replaced the kernel for libre-kernel 4.16 and installed openbox as the windowmanager.

So on my laptop (devuan core, no X) it does exist, not on my desktop (devuan core + librekernel + Xserver + openbox) ....

Thanks fsmithred,

I Installed the Devuan net-install, without X.

Here the menuentry for each in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg:

}

Thanks for the explanation. There is no real problem here, but I am just curious and want to know what is happening "under the hood'.

Thank you for your quick reply! That answers my first question about the systemd files and folders.

What about the two different kernels?
In Grub:
- Devuan GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-5-amd64
- Devuan GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.16.0-5-amd64 (sysvinit)

What is the difference?

Hello,

I just installed Devuan Jessie.

I found a systemd-folder in /lib/ and also in /etc/
What is the purpose of these folders in a non-systemd distro?

In Grub I found two 3.16 kernels. One has a (SysV) behind the kernel name. What is the difference?
Does the other use systemd?

Thanks in advance.
