Thanks for the info Clarke.

I have since rethought my search string to [find / -name *systemd*] and had found libsystemd-daemon0 and libsystemd-login0 as well. Still sysvinit is init on my install, and I believe the libs are just to satisfy Gnome.

I can't find anything *systemd* in the install iso, aside from a reference to the same two libs.

So to be fair, should Kali be left off the wiki or could it be re-added (and monitored for changes), since systemd is not installed as the default init?
I am often on the Kali site, and d/l new isos as they come out so it would be no issue for me to keep an eye on it.
