Hi Clarke,

First, from what I understand, the microsecond you get Devuan Alpha 2
installed, go into /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the two from
debian, leaving only the ones from devuan. I think that will help some.

Second, my understanding is that NetworkManager and PulseAudio are so
thoroughly infested with systemd that it's better to purge them from
your system, like you'd throw a bedbug-ridden mattress into the
dumpster. No use having that stuff hanging around. I **love** what
they've done with Wicd, putting it on the menu right there in front of
your face. Nice!

Third, what leads you to the conclusion that your system installed
systemd? On my VM-hosted Alpha-2 with LXDE, I have a whole bunch of
files and directories with "systemd" in their names, but I think it has
nothing to do with my bootup.

To prove I was initting with sysvinit, I wrote the following
shellscript called /root/testdaemon.sh:

========================================
#!/bin/sh
while true; do
date >> /tmp/junk.log
sleep 5
done
========================================

The preceding program, when run, appends the time to /tmp/junk.log
every five seconds, a thing you can see with the following command:

tail -f /tmp/junk.log

Then I put the following line right at the bottom of my /etc/inittab:

SV:12345:respawn:/root/testdaemon.sh

After I rebooted, /tmp/junk.log kept being appended, meaning that
inittab was being read, meaning that sysvinit is doing the initting.
