One issue we are hitting while telling people how to migrate on Gentoo from openRC to systemd is that some commands need to be run once you booted using systemd and, then, instead of being able to configure all the stuff before rebooting using new init system, people need to boot using a midworking one -> use the tools to configure their systems properly -> reboot again. The tools we would like to run outside systemd being run to get it configured before we boot to it would be: hostnamectl -> at least "hostnamectl set-hostname" should work localectl set-locale localectl set-keymap localectl set-x11-keymap timedatectl set-timezone timedatectl set-local-rtc Thanks a lot
If you run systemd-localed, systemd-timedated, systemd-hostnamed (as root), then things should "just work", and localectl, timedatectl, and hostnamectl should be able to connect to them.

(In reply to comment #2) > Didn't try that, will probably add the our docs then So, does it work? Can we close this?
Looks to work for people, but I couldn't test it myself :S
