An experiment

Fri May 13, 2011 4:21 am

I upgraded a vbox install of refracta-6.0.4/6.0.5 to wheezy and installed systemd from sid. Also installed live-config-systemd. Had to reinstall live-boot, because it got removed in the process. So did refractasnapshot, because of its dependency on live-initramfs. Installing live-boot also pulled in live-boot-initramfs-tools, the replacement for live-initramfs.

The bash snapshot tool worked to create a bootable snapshot. The installer will need some changes - there's no need for /etc/inittab with systemd, and auto-login on the console got lost with that. I think I can just remove those sections from the installer. If anyone knows how to enable console auto-login with systemd, please speak up, and you'll save me some search time.

auto login?

are you talking about for the live system?

what does systemd bring to the table?

Um, this is refracta. There is no auto-login. I forgot that you did away with that, and I'm getting confused between refracta and debian live.

Never mind on the auto-login. So, I guess doing it with systemd is just fine.

But since you asked, there are six symlinks (getty@tty{1..6}.service) in /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants, and they all point to /lib/systemd/system/getty@.service, which looks like this:
