<p>Hi All,<br /><br />I been using mandos for some weeks now, and I'm very happy with it.<br /><br />I'm trying to tuning my VM templates to fit my needs as much as possible now, and after some tests, I decided to ask to the mailing list in order to get some support relating the installation...<br /><br />When I try to install mandos on my Debian Wheezy (7.4) using the Mandos official repository, apt asks me to remove the sysvinit package in favor of systemd as initsystem... And I don't like this too much, even if Debian boots up really fast, because most of the times, systemd freezes my VM and I have to shut it down directly instead of using the normal procedure, because I even can get local access to the console as the system is unresponsive. Sometimes I get a black screen, and other times a frozen one.<br /><br />So, my question is simple: There is exists any method to AVOID mandos installs systemd and doesn't deinstalls (old good and stable) sysvinit instead?<br /><br />I'm thinking about to put an exception in /etc/apt/preferences for blocking/protecting the sysvinit package, but I don't know if mandos needs specifically systemd for running correctly.<br /><br />Maybe systemd is needed by mandos-monitor tool, but I wanted to ask to the Creators anyway for a confirmation :)<br /><br />Thank you for your support in advance and for your efforts on this great tool ;)<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Olivier</p>
