Thank you, Ed, for that excellent reading!  That explains a lot of
things.  I'm only testing F17 to see what new features and
enhancements I can look forward to.  I don't expect much stability and
compatibility from non GA releases.  I do have additional questions :)

1) is network.target.wants equivalent to run level 2,
multi-user.target.wants would be run level 3, and graphical is similar
to run level 5 of chkconfig?  Thus, I need to put the service in the
all the desired targets similar to turning on each run level of
chkconfig, right?

2) The wiki mention using .include but I didn't quite get that part.
I was looking for a configuration of some kind to use but I ended up
making a symlink like existing services in /etc/systemd/system.

Thanks,
Tommy
