My computer has grub2 installed. the linux kernel version is linux-3.10.4. It has sysV-init and udev-182. I am about to remove udev and install systemd-206 ( and all the dependencies thereof ). I will then try starting the machine with systemd. But I dont not know how to do this. Firstly I read somewhere that I need to add init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd to /boot/grub/grub.cfg to get systemd to work. This is the only definite piece of advice I have been able to garner from my search on the internet. Now as regards 'starting with systemd' this is my list of **know's** and **dont-know's**:- --I do know I need to remove udev-182, --I do not know if I need to remove init scripts from /etc/rc.d and/or if I need to disable /etc/inittab --I do not know if I need some type of script file that calls the various systemd service files in a manner say akin to the old rc.sysinit such as :- systemctl enable service Calooh systemctl enable service Callay systemctl enable service Boroughgroves etc ... ---and if I do when to call it ---and if I dont how/when to call systemd and direct it to start only the services neded ( of those installed ). advice would be appreciated.
