[DNG] A Devuan install CD.
A quick thought. Would it be possible and/or desirable for the end result of the dev1fanboy process to be captured as an image and used to create a short Devuan Install CD (not DVD)? This probably belongs on the Devuan website, but I've been following this mailing list because of mutual interest. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] A Devuan install CD
What are you referring to exactly? The tutorial of dev1fanboy explains how to upgrade from debian whezzy to devuan jessie, and the resulting system will depend on the original system. There aresome livecds of devuan available, neigther of the being hosted in the website of devuan, since they are not official images. But i can build **exact**replicas** of Devuan in i586, i686-pae and amd64. I would be delighted to do so, if people are interested. The images could be uploaded to devuan.org with the approval of VUAs, of course. Cheers, Aitor. On 11/07/2015 11:23 AM, "Scienceof Atomics" wrote: A quick thought.

Re: [DNG] A Devuan install CD.
One way you could do things is to debootstrap the hosts using the Devuan Install CD. It's not for the faint hearted but I'd suggest install once and upgrade on each stable release. To get some tips on what that might involve you can see this (unfinished) document: https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgrade-Install-Devuan/wikis/upgrade-with-wheezy-minimal-install I was originally going to post this as the install guide (luckily found a copy on disk), but since Devuan installer CD is working some of it was not relevant to Devuan, others parts were optional. You'll have to adapt it and I suggest using it with with care as I planned to test this before posting. On Saturday, November 7, 2015 6:44 AM, Scienceof Atomics wrote: A quick thought.

I've just purchased a 13-DVD set of Debian Jessie, and also burnt myself a copy of ExeGnuLinux, which combines Debian with the Trinity project, aiming to keep alive the KDE 3.5 desktop: http://exegnulinux.net/ EGL is planning a move to Devuan, which is how I found out about it, but is presently in a halfway state. I now have a complete software suite that should last indefinitely into the future, given two contingencies: 1. A move from 32-bit to a duplicate 64-bit DVD set when my ancient boxes eventually fall over. 2. Occasional kernel upgrades and driver installs to accommodate new hardware. There are many who will view this not merely as conservative, but as a case of rigor mortis. The thing is, I'm interested in USING the software for creative and productive work, not just endlessly fiddling with eye-candy and invisible technological "improvements". Apps that I use include: 1. Electronic design: xcircuit, pcb, picprog, spice and others. 2. Music: hydrogen, audacious, audacity, denemo, rosegarden, sox, timidity and others. 3. Image: gimp, blender, cinelerra and others. Along with the usual libre-office, gnumeric, nedit, opera and the rest of the daily round, most of these represent a large investment in time and effort in order to achieve productive competence. The VERY LAST thing I need is endless invisible changes to the underlying system that require me to run flat out in order to stay in the same place. This is the main reason I started with Linux more than a dozen years ago, and why I want it to remain manageable by those with moderate technical skills. The systemd crowd will end up as a cabal of High Priests owned and controlled by the TransNational Corporations overseeing an OS consisting of a few monster binary blobs that only they have the time and experience to comprehend. The Micro$oft/SCO debacle of years past did not mark the end of efforts at corporate take-over of Linux, merely a move to a more subtle, longer-term agenda. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Not a "halfway state". The EGL base system is now built from (devuan-) debootstrap. Repos used are Devuan "merged", TDE and a couple of 3rd party repos, for some packages compiled without *systemd* dependency not yet in Devuan. No *systemd* components are used, not even libsystemd0 (except udev.. but there is a version with eudev) David ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
