(off-topic section) I used the devuan_chimaera_4.0.beta2_2021-09-04_amd64_desktop-live.iso to set up my system.  I use legacy startup (not EFI) but apparently the refracta installer and grub included on the live iso want EFI only (or incorrectly detected my system as using that).  Anyway, I was

Thanks for responding. wicd has indeed been removed from Chimaera. Sadly, there are reports of frustration that the available options are not as intuitive as wicd. However, there is hope! Someone is looking at transitioning wicd to python3 so keep your fingers crossed. To fill a gap, rrq
