Not even "pinning" them. Well decided to see what removing them would do. I followed the "Variant" option instructions on the Nosystemd site. http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/Debian_Stretch No problems until I installed the VBoxGuestAddditions. Startx would only work if run by root. Run by user got $DiISPLAY environment error. Couldn't find screen. I started with a basic install -- terminal only -- adding xorg and openbox, etc. Same problem if I did the nosystemd thing with a default install of the LXDE desktop which strangely after would boot to a terminal for login instead of the graphic display manager. Anyone got any ideas. Everything works fine if GuestAdditions not installed. B
