Yes, it FINALLY happened! Did an expert install with the yad gui. Fast and slick operation. You might want to update the refractainstaller readme on the site - options are a little different now. It was a bit confusing because I looked at it before installing and then it was different in real time . . .
When grub updated on wheezy it found "unknown Linux distribution on /dev/sdb1" but recognized Devuan by name in the grub menu when I rebooted. But there were 2 grub entries. One for just Devuan and one for Devuan identifying the kernel version (the one I chose). Have any idea what the other one is about? It booted to a blank screen. Went to tty, logged in and ran startx. Why didn't slim launch? I see it's installed. Also reboot and shutdown are grayed out in the logout menu and no suspend or hibernate options. What did I miss? Copied my mozilla profile from wheezy and now sorting out the glitches in the latest ff version. Time to start pimping out Devuan.
Kudos to you for doing this. I always post a link to this and dzz's version when someone asks for a live disk on the channels and email. Just had to do that today in fact.
Obviously back has improved quite a bit . . . at last.
