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
