[DNG] Some questions re the devuan release

Finally i succeeded in installing devuan to this odd samsung ultrabook (it's nice but beeing amd based it's getting crazily hot with the standard free video drivers) and now i have some questions: Is there a place where to ask "dumb" questions (let's say, simple user related). I don't want to

@'Hendrik Bloom': I no longer have SliM installed on my Devuan machine, but I remember that the background image was set in a file named something like '/etc/slim.conf' or '/etc/slim/slim.conf' or '/usr/share/slim/slim.conf' @'Go Linux': Why not just tell Hendrik how to change the background

Re: [DNG] Unofficial Devuan Beta Live Minimal -- UPDATE

To boot the i386 iso in virtualbox, you need to go into the settings for System, Processor, and check the box for "Enable PAE/NX". I just did it, and it works great. One thing I had to do was hit TAB at the boot menu and change the vga setting to vga=788 so it would fit on this small laptop screen

[DNG] Keep the friendsofdevuan site or not?

Hi all, I just had a renewal notice for friendsofdevuan.org. Nothing expensive, and I can just let it sit there, but the email set me thinking... Is it worth keeping a friends-of site? It was mildly useful while Devuan had a single-page site, but that's no longer the state of affairs. Nice

[DNG] Unofficial Devuan Beta Live Minimal -- UPDATE

Dear Devuaners, I have worked a bit more on the unofficial minimal images of Devuan Beta. I have tried to incorporate all the comments I received, except those which would have resulted in a substantial increase of the image footprint. The updated stuff can be foud at:

[DNG] Torrents for every single install image

Hi All, I have created a single torrent file for every installation image inside the 10 Gb and are actively seeding. Is there a way to add them to a website or wiki for easy access for everyone? HND Nick ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org
