As I use to do a minimal *.bian install on my SoC hardware, which I afterwards move to the Devuan repositories, while keeping the related original "firmware" repository, I must confess that the whole "embedded"-thing is still somewhat unclear to me, at least regarding kernel and firmware updates. I'd be more than happy to get a hint towards an honest introduction to this topic.

I now also try lprng. I reinstalled cups-bsd and and end up in bad shape a lpr test.txt lpr: Error - No default destination. My printer lost its status as default, but I can't get to the CUPS web page to restore it b) Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:631.

According to https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=file&q=bin%2Flpr&x=submit there are three packages providing "bin/lpr": cups-bsd lpr lprng Which one do you have?

Every time the kernel updates, you need to get the new kernel's source, recompile, and replace the new kernel. It *is* an interesting idea though. AFAIR you can install a Debian/Devuan system without installing a kernel package. I did it still a decade ago on Powerpc-based SBCs: I compiled my own kernel and built my own initramfs and it prepared the system in a way that mimicked what Debian was expecting to find after the pivot-root. I did it with a custom initramfs because the boards were diskless but you can always do all this initial preparation from a dedicated partition if you prefer. The thing is after that you must switch to Debian proper by a pivot-root or switch-root. (snip) For what it's worth, I can confirm this : I ran a BeagleBoneBlack build of Devuan for a while and was rather surprised one day to discover that it had no kernel package installed at all. The kernel and initramfs where packed into a u-boot file and once loaded, the OS didn't care. - Antoine -- The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
