On my own followup, below is the installation log, indicating something major is seriously amiss with installing jessie-tde live isos on a virtualbox vm. Iam stopping trying to install jessie-tde on a vm for now, will try to install it on an old t61 laptop instead, but any help with the mess below would be appreciated. d.

hope i am not off topic, no systemd comments here, just a couple of comments on exe-jessv-2014109,110 and 112. I tried to install them in a vbox vm on a wheezy-tde13.5.13.2 host, vbox ver. 4.3.18 r96516. In all instances grub failed to install and grub rescue would only allow the ls and set commands to be executed, all other commands i tried (cat, linux etc) produced the error "no such command". Trying "do not install grub" also failed with the message "grub missing". Any hints / ideas? thanks in advance, dimitris (newbie in list)

A new (experimental) Exe GNU/Linux version exegnu-jessv-20141109.iso is available.
It is current TDE R14 on (mostly current and original) Debian Jessie.
All *systemd* packages are excluded using /etc/apt/preferences. Recompiled (without *systemd*) libpulse0 (mplayer dep) and dbus are used. Cups version is pinned to 1.7.1-5.
A few important packages may be missing or not working properly. There is only me to test it so far, any help appreciated. Updates will follow.
It is working fairly well for me now. Installed it with /home on the same partition as /, since the instructions imply that putting /home on a separate partition will cause that partition to be formatted, which I don't want to happen. A few glitches: the wizard runs each time on startup. Iceweasel won't start, claiming that an instance of it is already running. I installed Skype from deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free; it segfaults when I try to run it. -R
