I added a small section with details from the bug report link and a few other bits I found explaining how to use preseed to replace systemd with sysvinit to the wiki. I tested it out with a fairly minimal install and it worked fine (well systemd-dbus is running, but that isn't init and hence not what I was testing). So I learned a bit about preseed, and am fairly happy now. I still have systemd running on my system, it has some useful features, even if I think process 1 is way too large and have a hard time trusting anything from the maker of pulseaudio (which still causes me headaches all the time for some reason). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
