Re: Using telinit {1,3,5} with systemd

So after building a kernel and booting it, I've found it easiest
to take the system to single-user mode with

ask for your root password before proceeding.  (Make sure you have
one set.)

Then I build the open Nvidia drivers, install them,
then remove the existing Nvidia drivers with the
following command (that I've scripted):

I do it this way rather than rebooting because sometimes,
the drivers don't load right when I boot, and windows tear
when they move.  If that happens, I do the
"telinit 1"-"rmmod"-"telinit 5"
dance, which has always solved the problem.

These runlevels are the same as they were with
SysV init on Linux.
