Good to know.

I have no hurry, the automount was needed for my U24 box but these days I can manage with a Ventoy *.iso, but it is a good addition to xfe.
Also have to carefully consider the convenience of upgrading the 1000HE to Daedalus / Excalibur.
Kernels suffer more and more bloat with each release

But the 1000HE's hardware is the same one as (quite obviously) nothing has changed since 2009.
Given the use it has, I'm not sure I see any advantage in upgrading.

The one I'd want is 2.1 with the automount and all the bug fixes.

I've written to the author asking what he has available.
I'll post back if/when I hear from him.

I thought as much.  8^°

Thanks for your input.

2.0.1-1 is installed on my EEE and 2.0.1-2 is available in excalibur and ceres.

If you want it on chimaera, there's a chance that the excal deb will install. If not, you'd need to download the source from salsa.debian and backport it to chimaera. But if you want 2.1, you'll probably have to get the upstream non-debianized source and either package it or compile it behind your package manager's back.

Still working on my Asus 1000HE. 8^°

My netbook runs on Devuan Chimaera and the lightest file manager ever I found (besides mc) was xfe 1.43.1-1 i386.
Worked great and never looked back.

This morning I got a notification from the author about a request I made (back in ascii days) for an automount feature which has been incorporated to lhe latest version (2.1).

The thing is that I don't see any i386 version in the Devuan repositories but I can find version 2.0.1-2 in the Debian repositories (Trixie) so I expect that the latest version ie: xfe 2.1 i386 will eventually (?) be available there also.

There are also i386 versions available for Buster, Bullseye and Bookworm, all of them ideal for undepowered i386 hardware such as the 1000HE.

I doubt xfe2.0.1-2 i386 would install without issues in my Devuan Chimaera netbook.
Or maybe not ...

Q: Is there a way to get that done?

Best,

A.
