I tried Exe Linux (or was it ExeGnu Linux?). Anyway, it's how I stumbled on
the Devuan project, so there is some connection. But I couldn't get that one
to work properly for me. The installation shell *seemed* to work, but then
when I tried to reboot, I ended up with nothing.
Anyway, I have got Devuan Jessie/Beowulf (I think?) running pretty well with
TDE - already lots better than Debian Jessie with systemd! However, I still
have a couple bugs, hopefully minor, which I will bring up in later threads.

If you're looking at stable I suggest using "Exe Linux" built on Devuan
Jessie and TDE for Jessie. It's what I recommend and what I use unless
I'm doing a core/base install.

As for Devuan ASCII it's still a work in progress and I suggest only for
testing.
The Devuan mailing list is a good source for info if you are serious
about saying no to systemd as I am.

Yes, please. I am thinking of trying to create an iso from my installed
system (if I can). I seem to remember something in Ubuntu/Kubuntu that
did that very thing. (Was it called mondo?) But now I can't find it.
Once I've got my system running like I want - and I'm pretty much there
now - I just want to keep it like that, and only upgrade.
Wasn't there a way to configure the old Debian to do automatic "rolling
upgrades"? - using "stable" instead of "jessie", for example, in
the
sources.list? Or am I just dreaming?
Bill Ok so here's the update after the reinstall.
Automounting is gone. I haven't checked yet if udisks2 is installed.
I'm almost convinced it was something I did.
We shall see after I install the rest of the packages.
Now, however, whenever I plug in a usb hd, it doesn't show up on the
desktop. When I set it to show umounted hd vols, it also shows me root
drive. Not good. In the previous bigdaddy iso, I could plug a usb hd
and it would pop up on the desktop as would a USB drv.
Any suggestions as to what to look into?
Kate
Hey Doc, I'll see if I can uninstall udisks2 and the like before adding
packages to see what calls it.
It's been almost 7yrs since I built a .iso, I just ran the last one I
built on both intel and amd and it ran best on the amd, even kweather
updated :), but the drivers and firmware are old. So I set here with
build instructions in front of me for rolling my own Devuan distro, I'm
thinking Devuan Jessie+TDE-Trinity or TDE base+full firmware and drivers
and hopefully it will run and install on any computer, ksnapshot will be
added plus any suggested adds. I don't need this but maybe someone here
could use it. Any takers? ;)
Cheers,
