You want 20 and 22. Short: You can run any kind of syslog in order to provide log files or you can use journalctl in order to output logs in lot of formats, from some time period, only for last boot, and you can use awk, grep and such on a journalctl output - same as plain ol' logs. > systemd does not support building udev without the rest of systemd. > Myth or fact? > Well, yes that is true. He said that it isn't possible to turn off core components and that's systemd, journald and udevd itself. You can still turn everything else off. > systemd solves problems encountered by many/most LFS users. Myth or fact? > Problems like?

Fact 5 covers that up. It is not harder than sysvinit. Do note that you had to learn sysvinit at some point, including shell scripting, use of sed, awk, nice, grep, etc, etc to get sysvinit+initscripts to work. I know it is hard to change something, but no one was born knowing everything. For example, systemd was easy for me back then because I didn't know shell scripting. Few text files get everything I wanted and I needed few days to get something done like I want with shell scripts - and that's without any shell scripting skills. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
