Hello, I installed Debian to an external SSD from the most recent iso image and started to follow the migration instructions (webpage link above). BUT BEWARE ... the command root@devuan:~# apt-get purge systemd systemd-shim offers to also remove most of the Devuan setup and make it unbootable ! (no bloody way, mate) So the setup still appears to have both Devuan and systemd. I wonder what to do in this case.

Please follow these stept to move from debian jessie to devuan jessie:

Hello Nik, Thanks for the reply. For now, I have installed Debian 9 to an unused area of the laptop's SSD. In the migration instructions I followed most of the steps but stopped at the command "apt-get purge systemd systemd-shim". It offered in part to do the following:
The following packages will be REMOVED: caja* dbus-user-session* gvfs* gvfs-backends* gvfs-daemons* libpam-systemd* lightdm* mate-applets* mate-control-center* mate-desktop-environment* mate-desktop-environment-core* mate-panel* mate-polkit* mate-power-manager* mate-settings-daemon* network-manager* network-manager-gnome* policykit-1* synaptic* systemd* systemd-sysv* task-mate-desktop* udisks2* The following NEW packages will be installed: initscripts insserv startpar sysv-rc sysvinit-core
But I am reluctant to proceed, apprehensive of clobbering the system. What do you think? - R
