First, I'm assuming that everything I see in Synaptic comes from the Devuan repos; is that correct? My main question is what is the newest available kernel? The newest one I see is 3.16.0-5. Is that right? The number seems kind of low to me. Is this kernel patched for the Meltdown/Spectre flaws?

Another question I have is that I have both 3.16.0-4 and 3.16.0-5 installed. Does Miyo automatically boot into the newest kernel? I don't get any prompt on boot-up asking me which kernel I want to boot into. uname -r shows 3.16.0-5 so I assume that's the case. If I ever needed to boot into an older kernel, how would I go about that?

Thanks!

@Ron: to your original question, I'm curious what doesn't work.  Are you saying the file /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim doesn't exist?

Yes.

It may be helpful to copy and paste the file /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim (from your mint system) into this conversation . . .

How do I attach a file to this forum? I don't see a way. Here's the text of the file:

#!/bin/sh
# trim all mounted file systems which support it
/sbin/fstrim --all || true

I would like to set the script file fstrim to daily. In Mint I use this command: sudo mv -v /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim /etc/cron.daily
but this doesn't work in Miyo. How do I set this in Miyo? Can I just copy the fstrim file from Mint over to Miyo?

I hope this is the proper place to report this. The checksums for the file Miyo-XTRA-Jessie-64bit-20180120.iso do not match. I've downloaded the file three different times and I keep getting the following sums:

md5       587675f6947aa086394085488844ae72
sha 256   6c6c214b09fef868ee49e1c0df6915afc827756d803821a7aa6878463e1c15e2

On the checksum file they are listed as:

649ca81770ece7e7b8aa85bfeeabf3d7 - md5sum
472448b24b65488791a9ffba5a8f6f8e0df8ec0e962d2fc5f15d60882d4d06b7 - sha256sum

Is this just a mistake on the checksum file, I hope?
