I downloaded the amd64 netinstall iso and installed it on a usb drive.
I then used this to boot a computer, so far so good, attempted an
'expert install', all went well until it came to selecting a package
mirror.
I am in the UK, so when I was presented with a list of mirrors, I
selected 'gb.deb.devuan.org'. This lead to an error message:
[!! Configure the package manager
Bad archive mirror
An error has been detected while trying to use the specified Devuan
machine mirror.
I went back and choose Ireland this time and the install continued
until the package selection, where I didn't get to choose a GUI. I
continued the install and, as expected, when I rebooted, it booted to
a CLI login.
I re-installed again, but this time selected 'pkgmaster.devuan.org'
instead of 'gb.deb.devuan.org', It now installed correctly.
