I want to move from arch because of systemd and because I want to put myself in great pain so at the end I will feel good because there will be no pain (i.e, making the system simpler). But, I need help to install crux the right way.

Here's what I have done in a VM:

[*] Installed the base system by following the handbook
[*] Configured the ports system to build packages using another user
[*] Currently doing a sysup.

I want a simple and stable setup, able to run bspwm and some browser.

Oh, and a simple question: if I want to replace the default rc script, I just need to overwrite it with another (minirc), right?

Thank you! Waiting for the tips!
I highly recommend using another rc script. I'm using sinit and my own. CRUX rc is a pain in the ass sometimes.

minirc uses busybox init, so you'll have to remove sysvinit and install busybox and minirc (all available in 6c37). bspwm is also available in 6c37.
