This is working for me as well. Saves a little bandwidth and time, And is an offline resource. Thank you to all the contributors. :-)

Just one thing, I get errors from apt-key... Which I have not seen before this week... says it's (apt-key) depreciated and superseded by another device/app.

Anyhow, it seems to work.

Hi, I wonder if you can just unpack the .deb, same as a compressed archive.

there is 2 folders, data and control.

I often unpack them using the GUI and a file manager like Dolphin (kde5)

Currently I have libssl.1 libssl3 and libssl and openssl(3) At this point I do not have the -dev packag installed, so your mileage may vary.

I hope this helps, but I'm not sure about all you need for encryption...

Hi, I used to download electronics pages with httrack, a webpage/site downloader. The package is in the devuan repos for Daedalus.

With the page on your computer you may move the docs you want and then clean up the left-overs to the rubbish bin.

I hope this helps you.

... I wish.

I would put the entries into the /etc/default/grub file, if it did not work with the custom entry (/etc/grub.d/40_custom).

X configures automagically on my box. I think you need those other packages from your install scripts.

Do you get an error when you use "su -"?  The newer versions reject it "su -"  with a terse message.

I have sudo installed, but I'm one of those who prefers to su when required, I have it turned off in services

I use rc-update to see and edit the services & daemon list (open-rc init).

If you can login then you can su to a substitute user.

Hi, I've been having mouse problems as well. "focus" being the main disfunction.

Good question. I'll be looking out as well, but not till september-november 2023.

Daedalus (5) has the latest kernels.. works good here.

TIA,

That's it... I dont remember modifying it.

Has anybody worked out how to get the tty's to stay after updating/upgrading Daedalus?

I use them sparely, but very often it's the only way to edit configs and/or install required packages.

Sorry for the hijack... it is a pita.

This is my third time reading through this thread and I'd like to THANK YOU ALL!

Some of this tech has escaped me for a long time and I'm slowly putting the jigsaw puzzle pieces into position.

I like the bling but I want the security.

hi, to get access to the programs and other services like network, boot into single mode instead of safe mode boot.

You should get a login point... from there you'll have dpkg...
