One other thing, I sense that the key repeat is not as fast as it was
before I installed systemd-sysv. It seems strange that an init system
should mess with the keyboard settings. Has anyone else noticed this or
is it just me?
JFTR.
I've already had to do a dpkg-reconfigure console-setup to fix the
console font, and even then a reboot was required. I tested with
'init=/bin/systemd' first just to check, it started out strange then
came right. It was when I went the whole hog and installed systemd-sysv
that it needed a kick in the pants.
