There's an old Debian on the machine and I intend to just nail Devuan over it. That's not a migration, I guess.  The installation medium seems to be ok so far.

This is a bit strange: I just restarted the installation not in expert mode, but with 'install' (first option on first screen). It now gives me all the filesystems options that I'd expect, including ext3 and ext4.

Hardware is quite an old iron, a Dell E6500, but I had no problem getting ext3 and ext4 formatted partitions when I installed Debian 2016 on this machine. The installation medium is an USB stick.

I'm just installing Devuan Beowulf on my laptop. I've installed Debian quite a lot in expert mode so went to install Devuan with expert mode as well. During the setup of the partitions, if only had the option to format the partitions with ext2 (besides some DOS/Win file systems), but no ext3 or ext4 option was available. Am I misssing something or is Devuan really comming without ext3 / ext4?
