Bruce, Firstly, thanks for picking this up and running with it, especially seeing as you were originally (and possibly still are) quite opposed to systemd. Your approach seems like a decent compromise, offering our readers the choice of which init system to use. I only have a minor nitpick with the above. Please look at the 'Spelling' section of http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ - upstream prefer people to refer to the project/binaries as 'systemd'; would you mind adjusting the names of the symlinked binaries from sysd to systemd to comply please (it's only an extra 3 characters after all)? Thanks, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
