Really, the only thing that's different through the end of Chapter 6 is adding new packages. Skipping systemd and adding eudev is all that is needed to do a straight traditional build (with a few packages from BLFS). D-Bus is not started by default in the System V setup, but the binaries are built and installed. There is one minor change in sysvinit when there are four lines that move files. If systemd is not installed, those are not needed. The scripts in the new 7.1 section are not needed either. For System V, everything else is the same. > My impression is that you _have_ addressed the > keyboard and font setup, Not yet.

What we do need to support how to do that, but users like you will need to customize for your specific needs. >> Armin has created some systemd services for daemons and I want to >> incorporate those in the BLFS bootscripts.

Of course. And I want to explain the basics in Chapter 7 to get you started. Really it is a set of new configuration files with new formats in new locations. However there is a method to their madness and LFSers should be able to pick it up relatively quickly. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
