Mageia forum

Does anyone know what needs to be done to properly install Systemd?

Software installation,File editing,etc.

For Mageia 1 or for cauldron?
For Mageia 1 nothing, it's not available. For cauldron, just update it and you have systemd as default.

There is a systemd package for Mageia 1. I have not tried using it though.

Code: Select all

$ urpmq -i systemd
Name        : systemd
Version     : 18
Release     : 1.mga1
Group       : System/Configuration/Boot and Init
Size        : 1783975                      Architecture: x86_64
Source RPM  : systemd-18-1.mga1.src.rpm

Summary     : A System and Session Manager
Description :
systemd is a system and session manager for Linux, compatible with
SysV and LSB init scripts. systemd provides aggressive parallelization
capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services,
offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using
Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system
state, maintains mount and automount points and implements an
elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can
work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.

As the SystemVinit is installed by default and functioning well, will not replace it.

Thank You
