Why do you make it sound like it is difficult, it isn't something that
you need any advanced skill to solve. It's just that you have to do
it yourself, the installer won't do it for you.

I'm perfectly fine with it, it's just like the bsd startup scripts
in the 80-ties. There is some issues I havn't bothered solve,
/sbin/shutdown doesn't work as is, I have to use busybox poweroff
in a root terminal.

On some boxes I use bb init, on some other there is sysv.
