I know how to download, but it just fails after a few minutes for some reason, I managed to get about 20MB once.
Edit: Literally just tried again & it failed after downloading just 25MB.

Your link keeps on failing to download for me, tried several times yesterday, & a couple of times today.

I'm only an end user, not a developer, but I could dig out my RPi4B, & give your image a go, sometime next week, probably.
Where can I download the RPi4 image from?

N.B. If only using one monitor, you have to use the HDMI socket next to the USB C power socket.
(I'm not using mine at the moment, still awaiting EDID & USB boot to get fixed.)
I also had to add,
hdmi_force_hotplug:0=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=39 (or 81 to get 1366x768)
when using Raspbian O/S.

I've used Salix in preference to installing Slack, but I've been Debian & Debian based since 1999, I don't want to change, but I don't want to use systemd either, so I hope we can still have Debian without systemd well into the future. 
#456 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » USB Multiboot » 2019-12-29 11:04:54
I'd imagine that if you don't select one of the choices at the boot menu, you are being dropped into a terminal session, possibly for recovery purposes. If you do select a distro at boot time, does it then load to a desktop?

If regular software programs rely on parts of systemd, then the freedom that was Linux comes to an end!
Linux was fashioned after Unix principles, but has been deviated more towards a Microsoft kind of system, by the 'big players' so that they can make money out of selling maintenance contracts. If this continues, there will no longer be freedom to choose within Linux.
We need a branch of Linux that rejects completely the scourge of systemd. If that doesn't materialize, then the BSDs are sure to gain more followers.

Slackware probably still avoids systemd.

BSD stands for Berkley Software Distribution

If I'm not mistaken, 'unix' started out at AT&T as part of their phone system, but was made available to others, for a price, which then became Unix in its various forms.
BSD was a free version of unix, maintained by Berkley University, who had improved it no end, & was giving it away freely, until law makers/upholders got involved, as the kernel & a few other files were still in copyright.
This is where the GNU software came from, all but the kernel & a couple of files, which had to be replaced over time, to make BSD totally free, to distribute, alter, & use, as long as the Berkley copyright files were distributed with each copy.
I believe you will also find that the internet is run on BSD.

Can Devuan still get the disaffected Debian maintainers to come aboard(?).
If they would leave Debian & join with Devuan, it would increase its validity to more sysadmins, I think, & guarantee a systemd distro for others to base their distros off.

Thanks for your help fellas.
#465 Re: ARM Builds » RPi3A+/3B/3B+/(4B) » 2019-11-20 10:58:52
Thanks for the links. I have downloaded the RPi3 64bit version, but it extracts to a folder full of system folders, & I know the RPi usually has a FAT partition, as well as the Linux one.
Not quite sure what to do with them, do I copy the Rasbian FAT files to a FAT partition, & then all these system files into an EXT filesystem? Or do the /boot files go onto a FAT partition, & the rest onto a Linux filesystem?
Thanks for your help.

As an owner of these little computers, I was hoping that there might be an image of Devuan available for these, all I have found is a directory of a distro for the RPi3, & some talk of creating a RPi4 version.
So, if anyone is interested in these RPi, please add what you know to this thread, thanks.
#467 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2019-11-19 12:11:16
Just returned to the forum, & I see a number of those listed don't seem to be maintained, if the dates are anything to go by, so was wondering if , perhaps, the list could be divided into 'current distros' & 'older/unmaintained'(?).
(P.S. Previously known as FOSSuser.)
#468 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » What games do you play on Devuan?? » 2019-11-19 11:28:51
I only have 'time wasters' on my computers, usually PySolFC, Xpat2, &/or Xshisen - never wanted to run big time consuming games.

I was an early adopter, but preferred my lightweight system that I had been using beforehand, but come back & test the waters every now & again.
I now have ASCII 2.1 on 3 machines since yesterday, but had to re register on the forum, as it wouldn't let me in with my old credentials, (from Oct 15)..
