I have a working devuan ascii with no systemd no dbus no udev and no

I installed eudev and then I deleted /etc/init.d/udev and rebooted.

udev is gone and is replaced by eudev. I left the udev files in place
in /etc /lib because no eudev files had appeared so I think eudev
makes use of the udev files. I felt disinclined to break the system
again by deleting them! But if anyone can confirm or deny that would
be nice.
Hi David,
You can check the contents of eudev yourself:
dpkg -L eudev
gives you the list of installed files.
It's also worth to note that many files in /lib/udev/rules.d belong to
various other packages; they add their own configuration to udev in
support of hotplugging their things. I think you do best in leaving
them intact for eudev to use. Files in /etc/udev/rules.d are
notionally your sysadmin's poetry, with site local configuration, and
likewise, should probably be kept as well.
Ralph.

OK, dpkg -L eudev gives a long list of files mainly in /lib/udev/, I'll
be leaving those alone then...
Once bitten twice shy, after the 1st breakage I copied everything from
/etc and /lib and /usr that I thought I might need into ~/SAFE/ .
Happily I didn't need it.
Thanks for the help, in the next week or so I will be installing X11 and
polluting the iMac with libsystemd0.
