My objective is to allow users that do not want to consider or even try systemd to continue to do what they are already doing. (If you like your current scripts, you can keep your current scripts. That's an inside political joke, but most Americans will get it.) I am currently reorganizing and rewriting Chapter 7. It's not an easy rewrite because I need to figure out the organization as well as the content. I do intend to address things like keyboard, font, etc. I wasn't going to address dhcp because we do that in BLFS, but simple dhcp is built into systemd, so I may say something about that. Actually, systemd is supposed to honor System V boot scripts, but I haven't checked that out. Armin has created some systemd services for daemons and I want to incorporate those in the BLFS bootscripts. I've prototyped the Makefile so that it installs what is needed if the underlying directories are present. The changes should be transparent to users that only want sysv or only want sysd in addition to those who want to try both. Last night I was trying to figure out how to set the dmesg log level in systemd. It turns out that it can be done with sysctl and set: kernel.printk = 4 4 1 7 where the numbers are console_loglevel, default_message_loglevel, minimum_console_loglevel, and default_console_loglevel. The only number we really are concerned with is the first. This can be done in either sysd or sysv, but it's not as simple as setting LOGLEVEL=4 and then use dmesg -n $LOGLEVEL in a script which is how we do it now. In any case, I'll be asking for help in reviewing the changes as they are made. I think I may be able to do an initial commit of a new Chapter 7 in a couple of days. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
