If you cannot boot after installing systemd v8...

Heya!

We shifted a few files around and most likely your
/etc/systemd/system/default.target link will now point into the void, in
case anaconda wrote it. If that happens to you and you end up in a
rescue shell instead of a full system after booting with v8, then please
execute the following:

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

or

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

You can also choose to boot up into a normal system without the correct
default.target link, by passing "5" resp "3" on the kernel cmdline.

Sorry for breaking this (again), but with this in place things should be
at the appropriate places now for F14.

The bug against anaconda is already filed.
