[DNG] Waterfox issues under Devuan ASCII
Hi, I will upgrade to Beowulf. As usual, I will upgrade dpkg, apt, aptitude and the kernel first and then reboot with the new versions. Then, I will do an "apt-get dist-upgrade". If there are more critical packages which need to be upgraded first, please post. The above worked in Debian when there were dist-upgrade issues.

For both, I removed the optical drive and replaced it with a 500 GiB fixed disk using the factory mounts; its an option on these systems. Both dual boot to ASCII or Windows 10 Professional 64. Both have 8GiB of RAM Everything on both works just fine except for the fingerprint readers, which is not an ASCII problem but rather poor Linux support. Sound, touch pad, correct video resolution, the network, Bluetooth, etc. works fine.
