Simplest method: Start with a wheezy box. Create /etc/apt/preferences.d/no-systemd contents: ---- Package: systemd-sysv Pin: release o=Debian pin-Priority: -1 ---- now you can upgrade as per normal: - change references in /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d/* from wheezy to jessie - apt-get update - apt-get dist-upgrade You may be more comfortable pre-installing the new kernel and its dependencies, then rebooting, then doing the dist-upgrade, then rebooting again. In any case, reboot once you've finished. Then it's time to look around for problems. -dsr-
