13
14 But the wiki doesn't specify emerging system with the openrc flag.
15 Should I suggest that the wiki be modified.
16
17 To be sure I understand. At this point I would have already
18
19 1. merged systemd (perhaps with USE="openrc ..."
20 2. set USE="systemd ..."
21 3. updated with emerge --newuse --deep --verbose--ask @world
22 * The wiki doesn't say --update; is that correct?
23
24 I would *not* have
25 1. added init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd to the kernel line in grub
26 2. rebooted.
27
28 A related question. Am I correct in believing that once I do the
29 emerge ... @world
30 above I can *not* reboot until I have added the
31 init=...
32 phrase to the kernel line in grub (and thus committed to systemd not OpenRC)
33
34 Thanks to all
