Do non systemd, then do systemd

• _huayra_ 6y ago
  Is it possible to do the systemd book and then non-systemd? I did the systemd one a few weeks ago and I think that besides a few small affordances for some systemd quirk, the main issue was installing all the prereqs for building systemd (namely meson, ninja, which openrc probably doesn't require). They give a nifty tar command to snapshot the disk, which could help create a "fork point" for the setup. `pixz` is very helpful addition in this case (e.g. `tar -cp $LFS | pixz -9 > my_backup.tar.xz`)

    If you install to a VM most also have snapshot features you can use.

  Thank you. Could you also tell me why you suggest this? I'm genuinely curious.
