More generally I hark back to my "Devuan will remain a club for the initiated" remark: Support should be *here*, where it would be properly searchable, not on Internet chat. Of *all* the many people I know in the computer industry I am considered perhaps the geek. All you here and I myself know this to be false. But if the best bet at staying free of systemd is made difficult for me, the one in a hundred, and is used only by you, the one in a thousand, then I worry that Devuan is doomed.

My own personal machines are Devuan where they can be, the servers, a virtual and a real desktop, but not the Raspberry Pi's, & not my powerful notebook.

Very cryptic. But thanks for responding. I guess devuan will remain a club for the initiated :-)

I guess the less cryptic explaination is simply the face that the zero used the same chip than the first raspi did :-)

So, using the Devuan image for "Raspi #1" should work stressfree for your zero.

I have used the Devuan image with success on my Raspi 1 so far.

HTH,

Which image should I use for the Pi Zero? The one for the Pi 3?

And how do I do a headless install?

Thanks for any pointers. I may not need detailed hand holding here, but I do need help.
