Maybe by some sort of variable in "/etc/ default/*"? :-? Let me read the docs... okay, it is documented at "/usr/share/doc/systemd/ README.Debian" *** systemd for Debian ================== systemd can be installed alongside sysvinit and will not change the behaviour of the system out of the box. This is intentional. To test systemd, add: init=/bin/systemd to the kernel command line and then rebooting, or install the systemd-sysv package. *** Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
