+**IMPORTANT!** Carbs-init update to be released on 17th of February
+will require manual intervention. I am holding this update back so
+people can see it before they update their system (even though the
+update will show the same message as this). The rationale for the
+update is explained below the intervention.
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC sh
+# There is an explanation for each init You only need to follow the instructions
+# for your own init-system
+
+## busybox-init
+# If you did not edit your inittab simply move inittab.new to inittab
+mv /etc/inittab.new /etc/inittab
+
+# If you did edit your inittab you can use a simple sed command to remove the
+# necessary lines
+sed -i '/getty/d;/runsvdir/d' /etc/inittab
+
+
+## runit
+# same as busybox-init, if you did not edit /etc/runit/2 move 2.new to 2
+mv /etc/runit/2.new /etc/runit/2
+
+# else
+vim /etc/runit/2
+# open your 2 file and remove the for loop containing getty commands. If you are
+# using runit, it is recommended to comment out /etc/init/runit.boot
+
+## sinit/minit
+# If you did not edit your {sinit-,}launch-services.boot you can simply remove
+# it.
+rm -f /etc/init/launch-services.boot /etc/init/sinit-launch-services.boot
+
+# This should leave you without any issues, and you can safely reboot.
+#+END_SRC
+
+Carbs-init update is to make sure init systems do not clash, and do
+not have to use different files. This is a sensible update both for
+the user user and for the maintainer side. 
+
+To give an example, before this update busybox-init was managing getty
+through =inittab=, runit was managing through =/etc/runit/2=, and
+minit/sinit were launching from =/etc/init/launch-services.boot=. This
+is a configuration nightmare for everyone, and since I am maintaining
+and constantly testing those init providers, a huge nightmare for me. 
+This is a Quality of Life update.
