When we install Stretch we actually do a default install without a GUI and then switch from systemd to sysvinit before doing anything else. In the link you provided that's just the first set of "required steps" ... 1, 2, 3, done. In fact I'm not even sure if "2" is needed. I think the inittab appears on its own but I could be mistaken as we use some scripts for this and the scripts might create /etc/inittab. In order to do everything we wanted we found we had to use Stretch Backports. For example we didn't want policykit-1 and hplip depends on this in Stretch but it's only a recommendation in Stretch Backports. --Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
