Hello. I've got a laptop to play with (unbootable after win$7 automatically upgraded to win$10). I copied http://files.devuan.org/devuan-jessie-netboot-amd64-alpha2.iso to a usb key and tried to boot the machine from it. I select "expert install" as usual, to keep full control on

Hi all, I have 32-bit software I'd like to run on the adm64 alpha. The way I've accomplished this in the past was to install the ia32-libs package (in Ubuntu). I didn't see this package in the devuan repos a couple weeks ago so wondering what the best way is to go about this. I could install the
