jessie-vdev2 iso:

Notes:
- boots to console, startx to get to openbox
- If you want to get rid of the desktop background, it's in the spacefm
settings.
- usernames:passwords are root:root and user:user
- There's a gear icon on the panel that opens a terminal running the... (I
forget what it's called) script that lets you switch between udev and
vdev. I assume that it still works, but I didn't test it on this install.
- I think I have it set to not install recommends.
- *systemd* is pinned, so no libsystemd0 or libpam-systemd

(these are older than the vdev in the repo)
vdevd-2.0.2, libudev_compat_1.2.1, vdev-initramfs_1.2.7
