Yikes! I've read that Peppermint uses a super-simple, newbie-friendly installer. Maybe just to be safe I'll wait for the Excalibur release of Peppermint for an effortless install.

I considered Peppermint because it uses a simple GUI installer that doesn't leave me wondering if I'm doing something wrong. The only reason I didn't is because Excalibur isn't available in Peppermint yet!

Hi,

First post, first time trying Devuan! I got all the way up to choosing where to install Devuan (giving it the entire drive) when it offered me a choice between sda1, sda2 and a couple of others.

On boot, I can tell one from the other by it's name (one is Seagate, the other is some weird combination of letters and numbers). My current OS is installed on Seagate and I don't want to wipe it away (yet), but the other has an old version of another distro that I would replace with Devuan.

Boot order is Seagate first, then ST1234whatever. Does that mean the first boot disk is sad1 and the other - the one I want to install Devuan on - would be sda2?

Thanks, sorry for the rookie question. I did do a search before asking.
