Hi,

But systemd package will be installed in any case. Not a big problem though...

> If you don't want to use systemd as PID1 you can install systemd-shim.

Ok. But if I understand correctly policykit will be limited in functionality in
this case. Which its functions will be lost?

Sorry, but I am a very cautious during updating system, especially when some
changes may do my system unbootable. Maybe I will find time to check this
update in VirtualBox later.

Best regards,
Boris
