I swear I installed debian from the netinstall-amd64 installer, 
rebooted, installed vim and then wanted to change to sysV init.
So I installed sysvinit-core. And the first time I did not even watch 
what was written because well.. done it 50 times, know it all. ;-)

And then I sat there with a black screen and a blinking terminal 
cursor..system dead!
...I repeated that twice because I was so stunned that apt would remove 
packages of a running system.. before it would do that apt used to echo 
something like;  cannot remove systemd on PID 1 running..

On the other hand, on the machine I am writing from, I have devuan 
installed.

Thanks a lot. Looking later into it and answering the other email.

Cheers,
S.
