It seems my fresh netboot install this morning has swallowed and
installed systemd.
It was an "expert" 64bit install of "jessie" with XFCE and subsequently
firmware-linux-non-free had been installed for the embeded video and
then the fglrx-driver installed. Not sure where it picked up the
systemd along that path.

Removing it and its namesake friends took out Network Manager,
PulseAudio, CUPS and a bunch of assorted other bits
I installed WICD to send this and will now put the furniture back in place.

Warning: You will probably be seeing more of this kind of info from
simple folks like me, now that testing is easier with a netboot iso.
