Thank you! I have edited the code. I'm about to submit a pull request to Isaac. I appreciate your help!

Hello, my compliments on your website, it is utterly gorgeous. Consider your style sheet stolen
NetbootCD looks wonderful, thanks for sharing this.
I had a quick look through nbscript.sh and I noticed it's using the main pkgmaster.devuan.org server — it would be much better if you could replace that with the recommended deb.devuan.org redirector. It will save a lot of load on the servers. Thanks in advance.
Also, have you considered this method of assigning variables from text file contents:
read VARIABLE < /path/to/fileI find this more elegant than the VARIABLE=$(cat /path/to/file) used in the script but I suppose tastes differ :-)
You might want to run the whole script through https://www.shellcheck.net/ because it shows a number of issues.
Finally did you know that whiptail(1) can do almost everything that dialog can but it's much lighter and smaller? I prefer it myself anyway.
Oh, no...the only thing that I own is the github repository that I forked from Isaac Schemm just to add Devuan to the list of installable distros. Once I added it I initiated a pull request so that my modified version of nbscript.sh could be merged into the official NetbootCD repository.
Also, I just checked the redirector URL and I couldn't find the netboot kernel & init anywhere. I found the URL that I used on the "get-devuan" page of the main site under netboot just above the mirror list. If you could point me in the direction of where I might be able to find the PXE kernel & init by using the redirector, I'd be much obliged.

Hi all! I just wanted to let y'all know that I have added Devuan support to NetbootCD. I'm just waiting on a merge from Isaac so it can be included in the next release. For those that don't know, NetbootCD is exactly what it sounds like. It's a single CD image capable of net-installing multiple Linux distros.

For those that are impatient, you can give it a whirl right now.
https://github.com/spcwingo/netbootcd-reloaded
Just download it from the link (or clone with git), and run Build.sh with root privileges to build NetbootCD (it'll be in the "done" folder). The resulting ISO is a hybrid so it can be burned to an optical disc or written directly to a USB flash drive.
Y'all let me know how it works for you. Cheers!
Disclaimer: This will not boot in UEFI mode!
Disclaimer 2: This is in no way endorsed by the developers of Devuan...I just wanted to put that out there so no toes are stepped on.

I'm quite happy as well. Laptop and desktop.
Thank you for the great effort. I wanna buy some merch.
Ask and ye shall receive. ;-)

That looks pretty cool. I love it.
I should try openbox too, once I find the time and a not to busy computer.
Congrats!
I appreciate it!

I just tried my hand at building from a cli install. This is the result... It is openbox, tint2, jgmenu, plank, and pcmanfm (managing the desktop). I think it turned out pretty good looking (it also helps that it's a real speedster).

I hope y'all like it. Constructive criticism is welcomed. :-)
#8 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan icon question » 2022-06-20 01:57:47
I know this is already marked solved, but I just thought I'd add my $0.02. This is the one I use for my menu:
#9 Re: Devuan » Loving Devuan » 2022-06-19 08:09:08
It is LXDE/openbox with Faenza icons and Plank as the dock. The background is, as stated above, Victory Arch (Crossed Swords/Sabres) in Baghdad, Iraq. It's just a little something I whipped up while bored at work in a single night. I'm glad y'all like it.

Hey, y'all! I just finished up installing & tweaking Devuan Daedalus to my liking. So far I'm absolutely loving it! A huge thanks to the devs!
