[DNG] dev1usb
At the conference last week, we gave away some nice usb sticks that have the Devuan logo imprinted on them. They were also supposed to contain a multi-boot image with updated i386 and amd64 minimal-live and desktop-live isos. Due to time and hardware constraints, we didn't get to image the sticks ahead of time, and we were scrambling to distribute the imaged sticks during the conference. (Thanks to those who helped.) As a consequence, some of you may have received blanks sticks, sticks that are not bootable but have the iso files and or image file, or even a correctly imaged and bootable stick. If you have the image file (dev1usb.img_2019-03-28.img) you can just dd (or cat) it to the whole device, not to a partition. dd if=dev1usb.img_2019-03-28.img of=/dev/sdX The result will be a live-usb that uses grub to boot and gives you a choice of the isos to boot. There will be a single fat32 partition, 3.2 GB in size. You can create another partition in the additional free space and use it for persistence or just storage. If you want the image file, you can download it here: https://get.refracta.org/files/dev1usb/ fsmithred signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

One is a separate partition for the /boot directory, another is an EFI partition that contains UEFI bootloaders and the third is what you want, a BIOS boot partition. I don't believe any of these three must necessarily be the first partition. The one you want must be at least 1MB in size, have no filesystem on it and be flagged as bios_grub (in gparted) or EF02 (in gdisk). I'm certain that this one does not need to be the first partition.
