Greetings, I've finally managed to get a more-or-less working system put together, having been going round in circles, banging my head on convenient walls on the way, since before Christmas.
I've had to abandon my favourite systemd-boot, having been unable to get it to work (it doesn't behave the way the handbook describes). Instead, I've had to fall back on the dreaded grub. The point of this gripe, though, is that I cannot run an 'emerge -e @world' any more, because systemd insists on being included. Well, being masked stops it, but being explicitly excluded on the command line does not. Has anyone here a reliable method of ensuring that systemd stays out of the way? -- Regards, Peter.
