    Hi everybody

    I would like to install Buster on my amd64 machine *without* systemd.
    Is this possible? If so, how? I have read the entire installation
    manual and could not find anything about how to do this. Also. I could
    find nothing about it in the debian-amd64 archives.

    I have been using debian since 2002, but at age 81 I am too old to
    learn a new way of doing basic maintenance on my machine.


    You might want https://devuan.org/

    Check "Devuan Beowulf", currently under development.

    AFAIR Jack had asked for Buster... ASCII is Stretch.
