I did know, that this was removed. If I experience problems I'll remove the option, but maybe I'll remove it all together. I have systemd installed as I wanted to try, but I do not like the way everything is managed. I like the idea of simple bash initscripts, which can be easily extended if needed. I can also write bash scripts, which configure my system the way I want (i.e. set battery charging thresholds or something similar). I do not care for a split second advantage, but I just do not see a lot of point in waiting for bitlbee to start before xdm so that I might need maybe a while after I boot into my computer. Thanks for suggestions to everybody. Cheers, Ignas
