Speaking of which ... I know that there are a few third-party options with
the TDE desktop already installed, but thus far none of them work for me.
There is a Devuan iso out there (ExeGnu, I think, and perhaps another), but
I go through all the steps with them, and then it doesn't boot up. Only
Devuan netinstall really *works* for me.
So I wonder if we can't get a Devuan netinstall disc modified so that it
includes Trinity repositories and TDE as a menu choice when we choose our
desktop? Jessie (as I am still stuck there), Ascii (=Stretch) and maybe
Beowulf (= Buster) would be nice.
(This is a request for Slavek, perhaps, or are there others out there who
are making Trinity Devuan installation discs?)
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. 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.
Best,
Michael
