This statement should bring the same reaction as the posting that udev source was being rolled into the systemd tarball. It implies that eselect init will eventually become mandatory. Your situation is a special use-case, i.e. a developer who wants to switch between a "production" init system, and a "test" init system, possibly multiple times a day. You're a developer, you know which files to change, put together your own scripts, and run them as necessary. Set up your own overlay and write your own eselect init ebuild. No problem. But why should this eventually be a part of mainstream Gentoo? BTW, I'm a bigger fan of busybox than most Gentoo users. Remember the announcement of systemd/udev tarball integration, and supposed deprecation of a separate /usr? I was the ****-disturber who started up the https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev wiki page on how to replace udev with mdev. I also did a page on automounting at... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev/Automount_USB/automount Having said that, I don't see how busybox development justifies an additional layer of complexity for everybody's bootup. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
