Thanks Chris!

    Guess a good backup of the /home directory first is recommended.

    Followed by burning a copy of Slackware or a BSD iso to re-install
from scratch if it all goes south :-)

    Another option is to wait for sources on ftp://Devuan/testing to
become fully available and then migrate to it.

    If we have waited that long for the fork to happen, guess we could
wait a bit longer for the sources to become available.

    May the fork be with youl? :-)

    Thanks,

    Yves

Subject:Re: [Dng] Uninstallation of libsystemd0

just some points from memory....

make sure sysv is installed!

Rest easy in the knowledge that it is actually possible! (if a bit
roapy, to have jessie without systemd)

bare in mind you'll loose policykit (depends on libpam-systemd) -
until the fork's a going concern I'd recommend another parallel
partition with for example Gentoo where you can have eudev / polkit /
xfce etc without sysd and the world ending!

Then at least if your Debian install dies you can rescue if by
chrooting from Gentoo...

Good luck!

Hi all,

    Need some assistance with the removal of libsystemd0. 

    Followed the instructions provided at http://without-systemd.org/wiki
[2] 

    It of course removed gdm and some other files but installing slim
fixed the login. 

    Next is apptemting to remove libsystemd0 

    apt-get remove libsystemd0  appears to want remove a HUGE number of
packages of my Debian xfce installation and has that warning in there
too 

    WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
 This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
 bsdutils libsystemd0 (due to bsdutils)

    Is there a safe way to remove/replace libsystemd0 and
libsystemd-shim? 

    Also thank you all for providing this great hope of reviving one of
the best Linux distributions. 

    Thanks, 

    Yves
