I don't understand. *After* installing systemd (and setting the USE and |
| 39 |
executing the emerge --newuse ...), the wiki tells you to |
| 40 |
/etc/init.d/udev restart |
| 41 |
Emerging systemd unmerges udev so how can I do the restart? |

How far do I have to get in the wiki? I am hoping to do smaller chunks |
| 47 |
so that if I have to back out a step (using a bootable CD) to restore |
| 48 |
"bootability" to the system, it won't take too long. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
In particular do I have to switch init to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd |
| 51 |
before I can boot. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
I know you have had systemd installed for a long time. Did you always |
| 54 |
have the init= line or were you for a while running openrc with systemd |
| 55 |
installed? |

I am not so worried about gnome coming up. If the system boots and I |
| 63 |
can get the 6 text terminals, I can survive for quite a while with emacs |
| 64 |
and gnus. |

Again thanks for the help. |
