Dear all,
I am facing a two-faceted challenge:
One is to make a very minimal, stable (reproducible in the sense of the same
versions of the same package set) OS installation.
Two is to install from the network with netboot (pxe/efi).
Debian has no installer which out-of-the-box could access the

I meant the boot media as vmlinuz + initramfs or an ISO or something bootable,
i.e. the contents of that media.
Devuan does not provide such installation media / data.
It seems

Thanks for checking Mike.
Retried and now it worked here as well.
Sorry for the noise. Hard to tell what was wrong.

Installing Beowulf today, I get
firefox-esr_68.6.1esr-1~deb10u1_amd64.deb
despite that Debian said 8 Apr 2020 that the upgrade to
68.7.0esr-1~deb10u1
Is necessary because of CVE-2020-6821 CVE-2020-6822 CVE-2020-6825
This does not look right?

It's definitely not Devuan-specific; I don't know whether it is
Debian-specific,
or generic to any distro which includes brltty. I've only ever used it on
Debian.

Rick,
would you please cease using negatively charged buzzwords,
like "conspiracy theories"
while your counterpart is talking about existing legitimate (good or bad but

Dear list,
A round of searching and reading did not give me any usable
explanation of Subj on Devuan.
More specifically, static assignment of users to the "audio"/"video"
groups is not applicable (on shared, remotely accessible computers).

lack of documentation for uaccess vs ID_* is still open).
