This just means that there is nothing else running on your system with |
| 11 |
"systemd" in the name. |

Sorry, but you came into the middle of a conversation started by |
| 19 |
someone else, and all suggestions provided were directed primarily at |
| 20 |
him. What is the "this" you think you need to remedy? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In the case of the original poster to this thread, he was not using |
| 23 |
systemd, but did have it installed, so I suggested that ps command to |
| 24 |
see if any part of systemd was running on his system, even though he |
| 25 |
didn't think there was. |
| 26 |

In your case, if you have never installed systemd, then you should not |
| 28 |
have anything to worry about. While many of us might call it |
| 29 |
"intrusive," as far as I know, it does not have the ability to actually |
| 30 |
install itself without you knowing about it. If you have eix |
| 31 |
installed, you could even do "eix systemd" to confirm you don't have |
| 32 |
any of it's pieces installed. |

Not updating your system may make it difficult to do once you are |
| 37 |
ready, but it does not change the state of what you do or do not have |
| 38 |
installed or running. If you need help when you DO try to update, just |
| 39 |
start a new thread with an appropriate subject, and there are plenty |
| 40 |
of folks who will offer advice. |
