Hi Bill, Ah, no, not "expert install." A regular install using the Devuan ISO. I used this one: /devuan/devuan_ascii/installer-iso/ devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso Probably overkill, I just wanted something to install the base Devuan with. The steps I took were: - Make a Devuan USB install stick and copy those files to it (and my .bashrc, my ~/bin folder, and a bunch else as I needed propitiatory wifi drivers). - Connect to your router with an Ethernet cable before booting the Devuan installer. In the Devuan install process: - Select a mirror (this auto adds the correct Package repositories) - And in the Software Selection only select: - - Console productivity - - Standard system utilities (Uncheck everything else!) - Finish Devuan install - Boot - Install TDE through root command line (all you have at this point). - Boot - Presto TDE is the only desktop on the system. > as I have a lot of > packages; sort of my own private repository. Stick them on the USB stick? Okay, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this.
