Hi everyone,
I want to install either chimaera or daedalus with s6 init.
What are the steps I need to do to achieve this?
Here what I tried:
According to https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom s6 is supported, but I cannot manage to select it.
First, I tried the graphical installer, which didn't ask me for my preferred init, and I got sysvinit (which I definitely not want).
Then, I somehow figured out that I need to install with a non-graphical installer, and assumed it should be on the desktop iso.
This didn't work out, I can only select sysvinit, openrc or runit.
I cloned different iso's and installed the system now around 7 times, and spent quite some hours on this, but so far without success.
Can somebody be so kind to point me in the right direction? Also, what do you think about including this information either on the init-freedom page, or on the download page? Most people probably come to Devuan, because they care about the init system. Or is it already posted somewhere, and I cannot find it? In this case, sorry for bothering, and I appreciate if you still let me know.
Thank you for your time reading this and thanks for this fantastic operating system!!

Hi,
happy to be wrong about this, but as far as I know there is no s6-init package in Devuan.. you can install the s6 package, but all the init integration is not provided, so you have to serve yourself.
According to https://www.devuan.org/os/init-freedom s6 is supported, but I cannot manage to select it.
That page says " either available or being considered for inclusion "; I think only runit and openrc are provided as alternative init *for now*

There is a gnuinos image build with s6 for trial use and testing:
