�����: but if you don't want, say, IPV6, you can build w/o it (as a random example).
No, you can't for three or for years already, unless you want to completely disable networking. Some parts of networking stack simply presume existence of IPv6 part.
---- I specifically said it was a random example to forestall such pointless diversions. If you have a kernel that is broken when you disable IPV6, take it up with your vendor.

Looks like people running a vanilla kernel don't have a problem. You should try it if it bothers you. If not.. that's fine too. The point is about whether or not systemd is configurable as the linux kernel is. Not whether or not people are running some specific non-standard kernel that doesn't work with it disabled... yast still gives you the ability to turn off ipv6... you might try it, you might be surprised. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
