A short video describing npStarter installation on an ordinary raspbian system running on a RaspberryPi.

npStarter is a very basic init system for the raspberrypi, created to have full control of an otherwise fully functioning Raspbian Linux system. It replaces the systemd init system with its own setup routines and can also return control back to systemd for a full "normal" system.

Requirements:
- cmake (apt-get install cmake, I know it's just one file, cmake is a bit of an overkill:)
- gcc

For a quiet kernel boot your /boot/cmdline.txt file should look like:
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait quiet logo.nologo

The " quiet logo.nologo" keywords are the magic here.
