Godefridus, You didn't step on my toes. You did something else that was very much needed. I made an unofficial devuan-alpha-live, because some people were asking for it. I used the refracta scripts because, 1. I know them well, and 2. I gave up on live-build when I realized there was no way to exclude systemd.
If you fixed the second issue, then may God/Godess/FSM bless you! And yeah, automation is another reason to use the live-build scripts. Speaking of excluding systemd from a live-build, are you able to get the isos to boot? We had a problem with that, starting last year with a util-linux upgrade. -fsr On 10/08/2015 10:30 AM, Godefridus Daalmans wrote: > First, about fsmithred from refracta: I simply wasn't aware that somebody > had already done this.
