2016-08-08 Thread Ralph Ronnquist
These are my step notes for replacing systemd-udev with vdev in a Devuan desktop installation. 1) Devuan CD installation: with DE, Xfce, printer server, ssh server and standard utilities. This typically red-screens me once during the package installation, but works fine when repeating the step.

Personally, I only need to use `for f in /dir/*`. Failing that, `echo /dir/*` (possibly piped through xargs) works too. `ls` seems to be more for human eyes than scripting anyway. All the modes, etc. should really be read through `stat`. But when you're just starting out, you probably don't kno
