Yes, basically what I've tried, but there s no /efi/devuan. I've just had no success being able to access any of the file system. i'm begiing to think that if this sort of problems keep recurring, it will be a step back to the future from the time when the first hing you did after installing a system was to created a boot floppy; boot cd/dvd these days. Any way, Thank you. I've decided to risk it and attempt an OS re-install despite the rebuilt mailer requiring three attempts to get a booting sstem. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
