Thank you for the explanations. I think I've 'got' it now. :) Please post the link(s) to the documentation when it's done. As always, I'm available to proofread if you feel the need . . .

There is the README so far, but there should be more in there. > I want to give the alpha a test run on metal. Centurion_Dan posted > links to the first two. edbarx listed the other two.

Also please someone explain the differences in the locations > of these files: http://packages.devuan.org/ vs > http://files.devuan.org/ Are they both Jessie? yes, all installers available so far are jessie. > http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/dists/1.0/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso > http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/dists/1.0/main/installer-i386/201507023+devuan/images/netboot/mini.iso these are the direct results from d-i compilation, from there they are tested and mirrored on http://files.devuan.org so I recommend using the latter. the names on files.devuan.org are descriptive and there is a search box that is intended to facilitate what you need, that's why the directory organization is flat. for instance type "64" or "32" to narrow down the list only to those architectures, or "iso" to look only for usb/cd bootable installers. > http://files.devuan.org/devuan-jessie-amd64-alpha2-netboot-auto.iso BEWARE the -auto- prefix in this and other files means that this is a FULLY AUTOMATED installer which will require no interaction whatsoever (very useful for large deployements) but once launched will proceed formatting and installing without asking any confirmation. We provide this to save you all the time of preparing an iso with a pre-seed file which turned out to be very tricky to prepare, it is actually the installer used to go further creating vagrant and qemu virtual machines. to reorganize and document files.devuan.org is the next item on my short tasklist before a beta release. please be patient until I manage to find the time for that, august is being incredibly busy for me due to some other commitments. ciao! _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
