However, all contributors are welcome, especially if they have solutions or handy tricks or workarounds. Your scripts sound like just the thing, Michael, and I want to incorporate something like this into my own process, because it takes me at least 5-6 hours to do a complete installation of Devuan netinstall and TDE, enough to get it up and functioning so that I can resume my *actual* work, rather than watching my life ebb away while I wait for packages to download; and if I mess up one of the steps, it can take a couple days to get back to my own version of "normal" -- so yeah, I'm interested in this topic, so that I can streamline this part of it. When I find a suitable laptop, I intend to follow in Felmon's footsteps, more or less, except that I won't walk so straight a line to get there. Once I have something like a test machine, where I can experiment and not worry about disasters, I want to create a Devuan netinstall CD with TDE repositories added; for now, though, this ranks too low for me to consider.
