I am getting issues when trying to install deb packages that i download.
i don't use sudo, i just use root to install.

when i use "dpkg -i package name"

i keep getting this in general...... i am not sure what i could be doing wrong...

root@katty:/home/katty/Downloads# dpkg -i librewolf_117.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg: warning: 'ldconfig' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: warning: 'start-stop-daemon' not found in PATH or not executable
dpkg: error: 2 expected programs not found in PATH or not executable
Note: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and /sbin

tried a few other packages, and getting the same thing.

I am trying to install devuan beowolf on my pc. I keep getting 'bad archive mirror' in the installation process.  This is during the "configure the package manager" step.

I am lost and not sure what to do.

I got a small laptop i am experimenting with for a dual boot setup. I am trying to figure out how to setup dual boot option with devuan and primeOS installed at the same time. I am searching on how to instructions to do this online.

What is the simplest way to setup dual boot option?
