{{Package-Introduction|According to initng's site, initng is a full replacement of the old and in many ways deprecated sysvinit tool created by Jimmy Wennlund. It is designed to significantly increase the speed of booting a unix-compatible system by starting processes asynchronously. Development is now handled by a team from all around the world.|http://www.initng.org/}}

= Bootloader Configuration =

== LILO ==

Edit lilo.conf and add the line append="init=/sbin/initng" after the image specifier.

'''Sample LILO entry:'''

 image = /boot/vmlinuz
 root = /dev/hda1
 label = linux-initng
 append = "init=/sbin/initng"
 read-only

== GRUB ==

Edit the grub configuration (/boot/grub/grub.conf or /boot/grub/menu.lst) and append init=/sbin/initng to the kernel entry.

'''Sample GRUB entry:'''

 title linux-initng
  root (hd0,1)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 ro init=/sbin/initng

You can choose the runlevel, and add/remove one service/daemon this way:

'''Sample GRUB entry:'''

 title linux-initng at runlevel named single with system/modules and without net/lo
  root (hd1,0)
  kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro init=/sbin/initng runlevel:single +system/modules -net/lo

= Initscripts =

If you are installing initng for the first time, you can use genrunlevel to automatically generate the default runlevel based on installed applications:

 genrunlevel --all

Adding services or daemons to your runlevels:
To enable sound on boot, and load and save the mixerstate on shutdown and boot, you would run: 

 ng-update add service/alsasound default
 ng-update add service/alsasound/mixerstate default

Alternately, you can edit /etc/initng/default.runlevel or /etc/initng/runlevel/default.runlevel to change services in your default runlevel.
