A YaST option would be slicker.
On one box I did "zypper rm systemd" and it deleted a whole bunch of 
packages that seemed unrelated and I had to reinstall when I hit command 
not found, etc.
I reinstalled systemd which only installed systemd.
"ln -sf /sbin/sysvinit /sbin/init" is what I've now done on all boxes.

Sid.
