I made the switch yesterday, to pure systemd, it was a lot easier than I thought, and every daemon I had in my rc.conf had a systemd service, even samsung-tools from the AUR.

For the most part, anything regarding rc.conf won't be there as without initscripts there will be no rc.conf, the rest will work flawlessly though. I don't see a point in reinstalling though just for systemd, easy enough to uninstall initscripts, and install systemd tongue.gif

Easy enough to rewrite those to their " systemctl enable x.service " though.

ok, so as far as I can understand from the wiki, I install systemd, ctl enable/start each daemon in rc.conf (just two for me at the moment) then remove initscripts and rc.conf?

Yup, pretty much. Before you restart make sure to add systemd to the kernel parameters though;

/etc/default/grub
Code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd quiet"

so wait, the wiki says to boot grub, hit e, and then enter init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd. will either work fine?

EDIT---

note that grub is installed in debian, not from my arch install, not sure if that makes a differance since I have one /boot partition

ok, I followed the wiki insructions since it allowed a trhee step thing so I could stop if something wasn't going to work. the only thing right now that systemd is not starting is network, I am using netcfg there since it warned not to try using it in systemd but as just using network in rc.conf

the current step I am at in the wiki is a mixed systemd/sysvinit/initscripts I'm sure I can get netcfg working, but is there anything wrong with staying where I am now? it does *seem* to boot faster and I will have compatability with both systemd and rc.conf

EDIT---

and I can just have network in rc.conf. if that doesn't work, netcfg does work fine once booted so I can always set it to run on login or whatever
