Hi Mike,

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

https://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_a_Debian_Stretch_installation

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

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?
