No if you don't use --confirm-spawn AFAIK; the whole parallel start thingy is deeply integrated in systemd's design. And, why would you want to start things sequentially? And BTW, people who configure OpenRC to start things in parallel are going against the recommendations of its own maintaner: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391945#c10 "rc_parallel has never officially been declared a stable feature (see the comments in rc.conf regarding this)." OpenRC has never been able to reliable start services in parallel; on the other hand, you can argue that systemd was designed specifically to start services in parallel. > Also, I do want an interactive boot like the I -- is confirm-spawn the > way to do this? Yes; you need to specify it on GRUB, LILO, or whatever boot loader you use, although I've never used it. > Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
