Getting rid of `systemd`
------------------------
Some readers might be disappointed that I didn't explain how to get rid of `systemd`.
Sorry, guys.
X11 requires `udevd`.
Until that dependency goes away,
or until Wayland is usable,
I don't see any way around having systemd installed.
When it *is* possbile to remove systemd,
you might be able to use the `mdev` program in busybox to replace `udevd`.
I played with this a little bit,
and it looked promising,
but I gave up when I saw that I wasn't going to get to run X.
Have fun!
