Yes... I re-installed taking notes of what was getting installed.

I have boot from a debian 6 squeeze CD, anything later refuses to boot
the iMac. (Fedora has failed since fedora 13, Tinycore linux boots,
Slackware boots) Then I do a dist-upgrade to wheezy, that takes it
straight to 7.11 which has the beginnings of systemd in it.

I used aptitude to get rid of anything with systemd in the name, then I
deleted everything systemd from /lib/systemd and etc/systemd. After a
reboot and purge I was down to 174 packages and a working but very
minimal terminal system. No sound no nothing, reminds me of playing
Moonlander on a 300-baud terminal into the mainframe all those years ago...

Then I did the devuan-jessie dist-upgrade. That pulled in systemd-udevd
so I repeated what I did with wheezy - got rid of all of it! And broke
it again! The screen font stays enormous and the keyboard doesn't work
so I can't login.

I suppose eudev is the next step once I have re-installed squeeze and
wheezy!
