For now, I have installed Debian 9 to an unused area of the laptop's SSD. In the migration instructions I followed most of the steps but stopped at the command "apt-get purge systemd systemd-shim". It offered in part to do the following: The following packages will be REMOVED: caja* dbus-user-session* gvfs* gvfs-backends* gvfs-daemons* libpam-systemd* lightdm* mate-applets* mate-control-center* mate-desktop-environment* mate-desktop-environment-core* mate-panel* mate-polkit* mate-power-manager* mate-settings-daemon* network-manager* network-manager-gnome* policykit-1* synaptic* systemd* systemd-sysv* task-mate-desktop* udisks2* The following NEW packages will be installed: initscripts insserv startpar sysv-rc sysvinit-core But I am reluctant to proceed, apprehensive of clobbering the system. What do you think? - R --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
