Both Debian-based, and provides howto for minimal
install:
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/jessie-minimal-install
Instead of following the --include=nano instruction
@Debootstrap, I would do
--include=mc, and have all its recommendeds at the outset.
I just installed Devuan 2beta from a NETINST cd, with basic TDE, onto a 5.6GB
partition on an old AMD Sempron 64 with 2GB RAM. Current space consumed is 29% of /.
