Basic Suite66 guide

Simple basic usage guide: Suite66 guide

I wrote this in mind, to atleast to show basic everyday usage of enable/disable/start/stop services. Not meant to be a complete guide
but may be expanded a bit later on. Hope the guide helps you.

Packaged scripts by default will be placed in /etc/66/service.
I have a updated version that sets sysadmin's scripts in /etc/suite66/service
This has been done so that a person can copy a service file from /etc/66/service and place in /etc/suite66/service and modify it.
This avoids changes made by us to overwrite your changes. 66 is designed to check the sysadmin's service path(/etc/suite66/service) first
and use it instead if found.

Edit: I've also updated the wiki article, adding how to run user services, which are placed in $HOME/.66

If you are converting from another Artix-init, it is the same steps as normal, except afterwards before rebooting, need to create the 66 trees:
66-tree -n boot
66-tree -ncE default

Next need to enable boot modules, edit to changes needed for your system such has hostname, timezone, btrfs,lvm, etc
66-enable -t boot boot@system
66-env -t boot -e $EDITOR boot@system ( This is where you edit 66's settings mentioned a moment ago )
If you are enabling, for example, btrfs change !no to !yes
Save the changes and run
66-enable -t boot -F boot@system

Enable services to run in runlevel
66-enable SERVICES_HERE

The guide has now been updated to be more accessible to newcomers to 66 (definition of trees, etc), and some additional explanations are given, for example regarding the setting up of user services.
