For example with QEMU:
The runit-void package comes with two runsvdirs, single and default:Code: Select all

single just runs sulogin(8) and the necessary steps to rescue your system.

I was able to update Void in the root disk image yesterday. I think, this is the last Void disk image. Please change to Fienix in the future.
New:
Download: void-live-powerpc-20230317.img.tar.gz (md5sum: 9e663d6045ffc24e58b7adbd4b9c9629)
- Noboot disk image (image without boot partition)
- Fbdev is pre-configured
- Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak
- Yaru themes
- Arctic Fox 40.1
- Pale Moon 31.2
If you want to enable hardware acceleration manually, then edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Change the "driver" from fbdev to radeon.
Please test it.
Thanks,
Christian
