regarding Michael's suggestion:
Hey Bill,
I did a very successful Devuan 2 / TDE build by installing NO desktop in Devuan and then booting and using root prompt to install TDE. Â Worked very well, granted you need a second box to be able to read the commands from or have them in files on the install USB.
I believe this is most of the files I used, lets see if they attach…
Do check them against the current TDE wiki, they're possibly stale by now.

- I'll definitely check out your packages!
I did try something like this, but installing my TDE system from a root prompt (I think you mean the shell that is available in the "expert install
- no gui" version?)
Hi Bill,
Ah, no, not "expert install." A regular install using the Devuan ISO.
I used this one:
/devuan/devuan_ascii/installer-iso/ devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso
Probably overkill, I just wanted something to install the base Devuan with.
The steps I took were:
- Make a Devuan USB install stick and copy those files to it (and my .bashrc, my ~/bin folder, and a bunch else as I needed propitiatory wifi drivers). - Connect to your router with an Ethernet cable before booting the Devuan installer.
In the Devuan install process:
- Select a mirror (this auto adds the correct Package repositories) - And in the Software Selection only select: - - Console productivity - - Standard system utilities (Uncheck everything else!) - Finish Devuan install - Boot
- Install TDE through root command line (all you have at this point). - Boot
- Presto TDE is the only desktop on the system.
as I have a lot of packages; sort of my own private repository.
Stick them on the USB stick? Okay, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this.
Best, Michael
