+#Without Systemd Gentoo Overlay
+
+Use eselect repository to enable this overlay
+
+```
+eselect repository add without-systemd git https://github.com/KenjiBrown/without-systemd.git
+```
+
+##Issues: 
+	`profiles/package.mask` can only mask packages in this overlay. A symbolic link to `/etc/portage/package/mask/` is needed to effectively mask Gentoo'systemd packages.
+
+```
+ln -svf /var/db/repos/without-systemd/profiles/package.mask /etc/portage/package.mask/without-systemd
+```
