Re: If you cannot boot after installing systemd v8...

FYI, Fedora 14 Alpha testers:

Please read the following, since this update issue will hit you after
you install Fedora 14 Alpha and then update.

We probably need to spread this news out wider and add to the Common
F14 bugs page.

here's what i get:

# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
/etc/systemd/systemd/default.target
ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/systemd/systemd/default.target': No such
file or directory

so, it should be:

# ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target
/etc/systemd/system/default.target

hope it's fixed now :)

I've done this, and rebooted my F14 Alpha system and it seems to work
as promised.  Graphical bootup worked as it did beforehand.

I also added this to the common bugs page:
