Installed ASCII using Expert (text) from devuan_ascii_2.0.0_amd64_dvd-1.iso. I'm very familiar with the Debian Installer interface from years of using it.
Selected a static IP for the network setup and a local apt-cacher-ng proxy of us.deb.devuan.org for a faster response when (re)installing my test boxes. Other than that the choices were pretty much the defaults, including the Desktop packages, plus SSH host for remote access later. Had some difficulty with the EFI system partition not booting, which was solved by ignoring the advice to force the install to the EFI removable media location. Sounded like it would put files in both places, but that didn't work for my Lenovo ThinkServer. Upon successful boot into the system things looked good locally, until I tried to SSH to the box. Not there! While /etc/network/interfaces has the settings I expected, the GUI showed wicd had ignored them and called DHCP to create all new and mostly wrong settings. #apt remove wicd soon cleaned that up, but who the systemd thought it was a good idea to ignore! working! static! IP! settings! and install an unwelcome network mangler in the first place? Take a purgative, get your heads out of your ASCII, and stop your wicd ways from overriding traditional handcrafted, all-natural, artisanal, text-based config files. The guilty parties should lose an inch of *nix beard each in penance. [ Semi-humorous howls of rage aside: Does the installed system ignore static IP by design? ] _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
