Nah, who needs that stuff anyway :-) Note that even my desktop and laptop work fine without initrd, systemd and CONFIG_CGROUP nonsense. And while they are bloated with useless crap like *Kit and others, simply because I can't get myself to rebuild enough to get rid of the dependencies, I utterly hate them being around. > If on the other hand you are satisfied with booting into a getty with > not many services around, in this sense systemd will boot without > CONFIG_CGROUPS. Except that it waits a random amount of time, long enough for me to think the machine didn't come back up and power cycle again. The random delay is _waay_ longer than a regular reboot cycle and totally destroys the usability. > It's recommended not to do that and nobody actively > tests this setup, but at least systemd will not abort.
