Hi.
I'm wondering what has happened to the "embedded" subdirectory which was
present under Jessie and Ascii, but no longer seems to exist for Beowulf or
Chimaera (or later).
I want to install Devuan on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, and also on a Banana Pi R1.
Are these still possible? Do I need to s

Hi.
I need to set up a machine for someone with Orca for speech output, therefore
it needs to run the Gnome desktop. I'd very much prefer to do this without
systemd if I can.
Therefore I'm wondering what the current status of doing this on Devuan
(preferably Ascii) is.
