I guess it's been a while since I looked at the available profiles, because I don't remember seeing those: # eselect profile list Available profile symlink targets: [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop [4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd [6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde [7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd [8] default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer [9] default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib [10] default/linux/amd64/13.0/x32 [11] hardened/linux/amd64 [12] hardened/linux/amd64/selinux [13] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib [14] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux [15] hardened/linux/amd64/x32 [16] hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64 So, does this mean we will eventually have systemd choices for *all*? Ie: # eselect profile list Available profile symlink targets: [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0/systemd [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux/systemd etc?
