My system currently seems to be half way between systemd and init. ie by default process 1 is init; systemd seems to be there on the system but its not 1 by default If I start from grub using init=/bin/systemd it boots but networking does not work. I'd appreciate help on ironing this out and moving on to a full systemd install In more details: As earlier described on this thread: After some upgrade, the kernel modules related to ppp (some 3 or 4 of them) stopped being installed automatically. So from then on I am modprobing those and then manually running $ pon dsl-provider If however I boot grub with init=/bin/systemd then it does not work. ie - At start those modules remain non-loaded - modprobing them (seems to) load them in that they show in lsmod|grep ppp - Furthermore ifconfig seems to show a proper ppp0 inet addr after pon dsl-provider - But firefox cant find any page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
