[RndTbl] another systemd gotcha

sooo... don't remove /bin/plymouth (say, by uninstalling the "plymouth"
package) and still expect your system to boot.
Oh yeah, there's no warning when you removed the plymouth package a week
or two ago.
And there's nothing on screen to indicate what the problem might be, you
*must* have a root password set (sorry, Debian and Ubuntu users who
didn't do that) in order to log into safe mode, run "journalctl -xb" and
see the error where being unable to execute /bin/plymouth is a FATAL error.
Yup, this systemd thing sure makes booting my systems a lot faster...
*&^%$#@!
(And if anyone noticed that the new MUUG mirror server was down for a
while tonight, systemd is the culprit. It also doesn't like filesystems
that take more than a few seconds to mount and/or fsck. Which would not
include a 40TB XFS LVM volume. *&^%$#@! again.)
