It's coming from refracta, I guess. It should probably be removed in the future. > What is udevuan.cfg? The custom configuration of the isolinux menu.

I think I will include some other boot options and rearrange the existing ones, providing even smaller initrd images together with the existing ones, e.g. without support for some scsi drives which wastes a lot of initrd space and is useless in most of the cases. Also, I am considering the possibility of providing a customised runlevel optimised for accessibility. > "username=devuan" is not on cmdline, causing error messages and sudo failure > There is no sudo configured, and probably there will never be.

Will be xz-ed in the next snapshot. In principle, we could probably remove it from the squashfs, since it is pretty useless there anyway and we might save some good space. > There is a symlink for /boot/initrd.img (which does not exist) > I know.
