  • links to documentation or images for Devuan Daedalus

    From Robert Riches@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 29 21:30:45 2025
    I'd like to put Devuan Daedalus on an SD card to run on a
    Raspberry Pi 4. A while ago in this newsgroup, a documentation
    link was posted:

    https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/daedalus/bookworm-to-daedalus

    What is the path on the site to an ancestor directory in a
    documentation area?

    Also, there is an images directory on the Devuan site:

    https://arm-files.devuan.org/RaspberryPi%20Latest%20Builds/

    However, those are labeled trial images.

    Are there images more likely to be reliable than "trial"?

    Thanks.

    There are no official arm images for Devuan.

    I've no idea about the quality of the unofficial images any more, I
    haven't touched them for years. Now I typically install the related
    Debian and then transmute it to Devuan as the first link describes.

    Don't forget to add a NTP client.
