The defaults used by standard installations of Adelie +Linux are always on the left side.</p> + +<p>Most users do not need to change these options.</p> + + +<hr> + + +<h3>Shell to use for /bin/sh</h3> + +<p>This section allows you to choose which shell will be used for shell scripts +that use <code>/bin/sh</code>.</p> + +<ul> +<li><strong>Dash</strong>: The lightweight Dash shell is an Almquist-style +shell. This is the default shell used by Adelie for /bin/sh, and is used for +/bin/sh on Debian-derived distributions. This option provides faster boot +times and full POSIX compatibility.</li> +<li>Bash: This shell is popular on GNU systems. This option provides +compatibility with non-portable scripts. <em>Note that by choosing this +option, your system will no longer be able to conform to the POSIX standard. +</li> +</ul> + + +<hr> + + +<h3>Init system (/sbin/init)</h3> + +<p>This section allows you to choose which init system will be used to start up +your computer.</p> + +<ul> +<li><strong>s6-linux-init</strong>: The lightweight, customisable s6-linux-init +init system has been designed from the ground up to be lightweight and +efficient. Using this system provides full LSB compatibility with init control +and shutdown commands.</li> +<li>SysV Init: The traditional Linux init system was at one time widely +deployed, but has fallen out of favour recently due to issues with supervision +and power usage.</li> +</ul> + + +<hr> + + +<h3>uevent management daemon</h3> + +<p>This section allows you to choose which daemon will be used to manage kernel +uevents. <strong>Modifying this option may cause improper system operation or +failure to boot. Only modify this option if you know what you are doing. +</strong></p> + +<ul> +<li><strong>eudev</strong>: The traditional eudev system provides a standard +UDev-compatible interface. It is highly recommended that you use eudev unless +you know it is inappropriate for your use case.</li> +<li>mdevd: The minimalist, lightweight mdevd system is the skarnet fork of +the mdev system from BusyBox. Choosing this option on a desktop system will +require manual intervention.</li> +</ul> |
