I could have been a bit less definitive with my response but I had read #668001 and the lack of success there helped frame it. My desire to have d-i install other than the default init system is not great so it's unlikely I will make testing it a priority, even if it is an interesting problem. :) The technique given by Jonathan Dowland works and appears to me to involve a minimal amount of work for someone wanting to end up booting a new install with sysvinit. Depending on what is being done, a late_command is available too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
