  29 REQUIREMENTS:
  30         Linux kernel >= 2.6.30 (with devtmpfs, cgroups; optional but strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6)
  31         libudev >= 163
  32         dbus >= 1.4.0
  33         libcap
  34         gtk+ >= 2.20 (optional)
  35         PAM >= 1.1.2 (optional)
  36         libcryptsetup (optional)
  37         libaudit (optional)
  38         libselinux (optional)
  39         tcpwrappers (optional)
  40         libnotify (optional)
  41
  42         When you build from git you need the following additional dependencies:
  43
  44         vala >= 0.10
  45         docbook-xsl
  46         xsltproc
  47         automake
  48         autoconf
  49         libtool
  50         make, gcc, and similar tools
  51
  52         During runtime you need the following dependencies:
  53
  54         util-linux > v2.18 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s)
  55         sulogin (from sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended)
  56         plymouth (optional)
  57         dracut (optional)
  58
  59 WARNINGS:
  60         systemd will warn you during boot if /etc/mtab is not a
  61         symlink to /proc/mounts. Please ensure that /etc/mtab is a
  62         proper symlink.
  63
  64         systemd will warn you during boot if /usr is on a different
  65         file system than /. While in systemd itself very little will
  66         break if /usr is on a separate partition many of its
  67         dependencies very likely will break sooner or later in one
  68         form or another. For example udev rules tend to refer to
  69         binaries in /usr, binaries that link to libraries in /usr or
  70         binaries that refer to data files in /usr. Since these
  71         breakages are not always directly visible systemd will warn
  72         about this, since this kind of file system setup is not really
  73         supported anymore by the basic set of Linux OS components.
