bgstack15I was just deploying another physical Devuan system and needed a new-enough amd64 netinstall iso. I might need to get involved in the iso building business to help make sure it can happen. I guess I'll ping plasma41 when he's around...02:27
fsmithredbgstack15, you can use any of the live isos to do a debootstrap install and then chroot and install task-whatever02:38
bgstack15Hm, I have a second install coming up soon. I'll try doing that. I've never done a debootstrap install!02:43
fsmithredif you use a refracta iso there's a short howto and a script to mount dev proc sys03:14
fsmithredit's actually pretty easy. run debootstrap with a few options, chroot, set root password, install kernel, install whatever else.03:15
fsmithredif you need a more recent kernel to boot, here's one with a bpo kernel from July - https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta_12_bpo6.9.7_amd64-20240731_0049.iso03:20
fsmithredbut I should shut up and not discourage you from building netinstall isos03:21
golinuxbgstack15: Thing is that the testing isos may need debugging before getting a viable build so be prepared for that . . .06:00
rrqfsmithred: I've done a bit of cleanup and added a readme to rrq/run-in-overlay ...13:14
fsmithredoh good. I was wondering how to use them.13:15
fsmithreddid you make another branch? I just got a weird message when I tried to pull.13:16
fsmithredok, got it13:19
* rrq running out of puff. g'night13:28
fsmithredsleep well and have good dreams13:35
