You're misinformed, actually. |

The base guide (LFS proper) focuses on building just a base working system (a |
| 19 |
@system, so to speak) capable of booting, connecting to the web, and building |
| 20 |
whatever you may want to install upon that. It uses eudev, by the way, |
| 21 |
although there is a version based on systemd which, from my understanding, |
| 22 |
is considered to be a non-default one. |

Dbus, policykit, Xorg, WMs, DEs etc. are all in the BLFS guide |
| 25 |
("Beyond LFS"), which |
| 26 |
by nature is not a linear guide but more like a collection of recipes from which |
| 27 |
to choose and pick. |
