OK. There is a learning curve. I've only gotten slightly familiar with it. However I keep picking up things. A couple of rules to keep in mind: /etc/systemd entries override /lib/systemd entries. Remove /lib/systemd entries with ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/whatever .network and .link files go in /etc/systemd/network/ Boot scripts are .service configuration files and go in /lib/systemd/system/ They are enabled or disabled at boot time with systemctl enable|disable name.service. Individual services are brought up or down with systemctl start|stop name.service. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
