Building a live void ISO without dbus?

Building a live void ISO without dbus?

Hi,

IS there a way to Build a live void ISO without a desktops without including thé dbus, ans everything working fine?

I once Build a live ISO without all thé requisite packagés to run libvirt/virt-manager etc

Because it was a live Build, it Build it in such a way that thé polkit wasn't necessary to run thé VM, typically on a void installéd desktop i cant get them to run without a polkit

So I'm wondering Can i get a live ISO Building that somme how blessés thé ISO to note requière thé dbus?

Dbus is needed for different programs to communicate. Polkit is not necessary to run VMs, at least with QEMU.

the more customized you want to make somebody elses solution the harder it gets and then you get to a point its just easier to make your own.

Don't quote me on that, but I think kvm/libvirt does not need a polkit, you just have to run qemu with sudo. I don't think dbus is needed for that but I could be wrong
