There is no hack required, just a bootloader plus an initrd.
...
No, and initrd is required since long time before systemd..
True.
99.9% of our users do not recompile core functionality such as libc, the kernel or perl. what happends here is, you belong to the 0.01%, that is, you are either not the target audience or dare a I say.. a troll.
I have to agree with Cristian here - and he knows I often don't ;-) If on an openSUSE installation with the standard tools emergency mode works, that's fine for me. If I need more complex rescue environment, I can use either an extra bootable partition for recovery, the dedicated rescue image available since 12.3, the text rescue system that I think (I have not checked 12.3) is available on the install DVD, or the installation gnome/kde "CD". I assume they work. If there is broken functionality I want to know about it. But I do not want to see the mail list filled so many times with posts by people that insist on modifying core components because they do not like them for whatever reason (maybe valid, maybe not) and then complain endlessly about some other thing that breaks. I do not want to waste time reading a post thinking that "oh no, something important has broken", then to find out that the breakage is because of modified core parts :-( This is a distribution. Linda, if you want to demonstrate tool breakage, please do so on a system built using openSUSE standard code. Heck, I hate systemd. But I can not create my own sysinit scripts (I might), and then complain if they don't work. I may ask for help, of course, but not complain. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
