Incorrect. You have a choice. We install both and you can test them out and choose the one you like best.

I suppose a 2nd Foreword could be added, but perhaps a little more explanation than usual in the "What's New" would be more appropriate. First because LFS isn't easily > installable on a very little system, Systemd is very big. Is it? Compared to what? My total build is 1.9G. The systemd build space is about 350M, but the installed size is only 62M or about 3% of the total.

Giving the user two systems to explore without having to rebuild gives many teaching moments. I believe the concept is unique. At least I haven't heard of it before. The default in the book is System V, but that uses udev from systemd. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
