Hello,
thanks for making devuan available.. i never could get through systemd.. some easy thing that used toi be a long time ago, like post-logout-scripts.
so i am moving from debian to devuan.. at least i try with my little linux knowledge.
Could make easily a boot stick with the chimaera iso.
Booted right away on my old TP-x200s. All the UEFI stuff i did not yet assimilate neither. so i made my new ssd as a msdos partition-map,
and 2 or 3 try&error until my partitions were set right.. why this target-home  or target-boot names? 
somewhen I must have don a mistake when answering at the installation-procedure.
installation went through..first boot without boot-stick.
well the username was not available?  but  I had to use the hostname as username? password was then OK (the one made for the new user)
going into a sheel try to correct this username situation..
adduser ? no found.. ok, go as 'SU'.. well again not found.. so the PATH environment must not be set correctly..

what happened that user and passwd went wrong?

thanks
lukas
