Hi Mike,
Thanks for the headsup and Is this the guide you used for Debian Stretch w/
sysvinit?

If not, would you link us with what you did use?
My MX18's lightdm just blew a fuse (no user can log into any desktop) and
running on a pure Debian is very much desired. *
Thanks,
Michael
* MX Linux is a really nice beast, but even with all the work they've done to
make Nvidia an easy install, MX doesn't seem to play well with Nvidia. Or
maybe Nvidia drivers are just a problem with every distro?
I really want to stick with the Devuan sysvinit.
Everything runs great,
as I said, except for a few issues (addressed in other threads), and of
course the fact that TDE doesn't "come with" as a standard menu choice
for desktop.
FWIW, after three years with Devuan we're back to Debian.
The original Stretch support for sysvinit was badly damaged but
nowaways Stretch with backports is working fine on both laptops
and servers, and we believe Buster will be just as good.
