Hi antiXiers.

I every day connect to proxy with login, adhoc, hidden Wifi, free Wifi for this Wicd is week, better is NetworkManager.

I test installation NM:
sudo apt-get install --dry-run network-manager | grep systemd
libnm0 libpam-systemd libseccomp2 libteamdctl0 libudev1 nfs-common systemd
systemd-shim sysvinit-utils udev usb-modeswitch util-linux
libteam-utils open-iscsi watchdog systemd-ui systemd-container comgt
libndp0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1 libnm0 libpam-systemd libseccomp2 libteamdctl0
network-manager systemd systemd-shim xserver-xorg-input-libinput
Inst libfdisk1 (2.28.1-1.0nosystemd1 antiX repository:3.1/testing [amd64])
Conf libfdisk1 (2.28.1-1.0nosystemd1 antiX repository:3.1/testing [amd64])
Inst init-system-helpers [1.22+nosystemd1] (1.42 Debian:testing [all]) []
Inst util-linux [2.25.2-6.0nosystemd1] (2.28.1-1.0nosystemd1 antiX repository:3.1/testing [amd64])
Conf util-linux (2.28.1-1.0nosystemd1 antiX repository:3.1/testing [amd64])
Inst xserver-xorg-core [2:1.16.4-1] (2:1.18.4-1.0nosystemd1 antiX repository:3.1/testing [amd64]) [xserver-xorg-input-synaptics:amd64 xserver-xorg-input-evdev:amd64 ]
Inst systemd (231-4 Debian:testing [amd64])
Inst systemd-shim (10-2 Debian:testing [amd64])
Inst libpam-systemd (231-4 Debian:testing [amd64])
Conf xserver-xorg-core (2:1.18.4-1.0nosystemd1 antiX repository:3.1/testing [amd64])
Conf systemd (231-4 Debian:testing [amd64])

Yes, this answer I got in antiX 15 and antiX 16 wants install systemd.

NM can compile without systemd and I know one former developer __{{emoticon}}__

Make or find a systemd-free deb of network-manager and we'll include it in our repos.

Mx uses network manager does it not?
Does it then include systemd components even though mx runs with sysv?

@ Dave - yes, network-manager needs libsystemd0 and libpam-systemd. Installing both will not force systemd to become the init system (like on MX), but it drags in systemd libraries which antiX tries to avoid.

I write about it with
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pavlix"
linktext was:"Pavlix"
====================================
and I look for solutions.
In second stage I will try to

====================================
for better cooperation on development NM without systemd.
One of the ways is compiling Gentoo NM without systemd, we will see...
When it will be OK, can I participate as a packager NM for antiX?
