sysvinit instead of systemd?

[Olivier Molinete]

Hi All,

I been using mandos for some weeks now, and I'm very happy with it.

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...

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.

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?

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.

Maybe systemd is needed by mandos-monitor tool, but I wanted to ask to
the Creators anyway for a confirmation :)

Thank you for your support in advance and for your efforts on this great
tool ;)

Kind regards,
Olivier
