In the first part of his post the OP says The first task of my project is done. Openbox is systemd-free It is actually extremely simple to install openbox without systemd. He makes it appear as though it was a struggle or that it it requires superhumn powers. To repeat: openbox as a WM on Debian without systemd is simplicity itself. Having laid out one bit of misleading information he then carries on to mislead with an implication of libreoffice being linked to systemd. Your information is perfectly correct. I can confirm that libreoffice installs perfectly well withouit systemd with openbox as the WM. Then we have the claim that "Gnumeric will be tough". I suppose it will be if you do not know what you are doing. For the record: gnumeric with openbox without systemd is also easy. I doubt that the OP will make alterations to the original post to make his advice fit reality a bit better. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
