+===== Troubleshooting =====
+==== System is not lustrated ====
+For some reason a system is not lustrated (NOTE: system must boot via GRUB for lustrate to work aparently). If that happens a boot might fail due to systemd not finding ''default.target''.
+If that happens a manual lustration might help (= move files manually from root into subfolder).
+Apparently systemd must also not be enabled in initrd for it work.
