I'm asking PCLinuxOS people but I expect I'll get an answer here faster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kate, you can write your drive to /etc/fstab using noauto.
If you want to add it to fstab and need some help let us know the dev
name or uuid, file system type and where you want to mount it, I use
/home/jimmy/sdb1 or it could be /mount/sdb1 or /media/sdb1. Here's a
example of how I handle sdb1 on this desktop.
'/dev/sdb1 /home/jimmy/01-SDB1 ext4 noauto,users,exec,relatime 0 0'
But what you're seeing seems to be a PC Linux OS thing and is not the
behavior of devuan or debian.

I appreciate the help though,

I've tested pclos a few times over the years, I wanted to love it, but
always got bitten, for me it was hardware that was not supported and we
could not fix it.
Here's one I've tested, it's a nice tight system with the Trinity
Desktop, you can run it live and/or install and if you have the skills
you can convert to a pure Trinity+Devuan system as none of the hocus
pocus they've done is needed.

It would be nice to see a Trinity+Devuan live .iso.
Cheers,

Kate I made my living working in the field or at a bench doing
computer/network related repairs or installs, I took a laptop with me in
the field that ran 'Puppy Linux', small and fast with all the tools a
tech needs on a little live .iso. This was before systemd, but Puppy is
still without systemd.

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?

The same procedure as every year? ;-)
1) Disconnect the USB drive.
2) What is installed, udev/sytemd/logind/udisks/udisks2/polkit/pmount?
3) Open 4 terminals. In the first, run "dmesg -w" sa root. In the second, run
"udevadm monitor". In the 3rd, run "watch cat /proc/partitions". In
the 4th get root and poke around. And open "konqueror media:/".
4) Plug in the USB drive. What hppens? What's happening in terminals 1 to 3? Does it
show up in /proc/partitions? udev generates events? Kernel logs something? If the device
is silently ignored, run "partprobe". What happens?
5) Use some different USB device and try again.
Then we'll know a bit more.

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? ;)

Do you have a link to the iso you're referring to?
Just so you know, I don't know what I'm doing at this time, right now
I'm just poking a lot of things. I took a look at the devuan
net-install iso and it looked like a blob, I think this new build your
own live distro stuff that's being used is a blob. What I used before
was remastersys and it retired and then un-retired and was at that
gethub place but ran away because it's no friend of MS. So I will see
if I can upgrade and update one of my own live-iso's that already has
remastersys installed. Also I'm thinking about a devuan jessie
net-install-iso that includes the trinity sources and maybe even a
choice to install tde-trinity. Plus I just found out I have over 156GB
of waisted wasted space in one folder I need to sort out, I'm a pack rat
and these are all duplicate files(458 files in 256 groups).

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? ;)
