Michael's answer was correct, but I just wanted to note that the kernel and systemd are really two different things. You don't really need to do anything special with the kernel to not use systemd. If you do use systemd (or openrc) you do need to make sure the kernel has the required options enabled. The gentoo-sources package has menu items that automatically select these, both for openrc and systemd. There really isn't anything special here - lots of software requires certain kernel features to work. There is generally no harm in turning on options you don't need. You generally won't end up with systemd on Gentoo unless you go looking for it. If something does pull it in there is usually a way to avoid it, and somebody around here would be able to help you with that until you accept your fate and line up for assimilation... -- Rich
