Yes.
Print it out, frame it and hang up on the wall.
Then you can show your kids and grand kids how adults do things.

It looks like there you have a task to volunteer for.

I wouldn't worry about that until it fills up; then removing old kernels is the first step. Though generally it may also be a good idea to keep a "live installer" USB stick on the shelf.

I'm not sure what that issue is about; my excalibur boot directory is 100 Mb, though also not a separate partition. I think 487 Mb is plenty and it's certainly fine as a raw partition.

EDIT: I also have an EFI partition with <5 Mb bootloader (grub), which gets mounted as /boot/efi.

Yes, it should be fine like that. Of course any dkms modules might play up.

I've also seen that some people have issues with their windowing programs with excalibur, but that's more of a post-upgrade concern.

Seems your DNS is playing up. First try ping -n deb.devuan.org and second try traceroute -n deb.devuan.org. Does that give anything?

Btw. use code blocks for code (and console output); not quote blocks.

It appears your system in the chroot has a directory "/run/systemd/system"; perhaps that chroot filesystem has a bind-mounted "/run" from an outer "grml live iso" system with that badness in it?

Yes, @tux_99, I read your post too hastily, and I thank you for your suggestion. My note about childish noise obviously doesn't apply to your offer.

The Devuan git store has had address block blocks a long time, and it does work to some extent. But as you would know, it's a method that requires constant monitoring and tuning, and that one can accept longish periods of seriously degraded service.

DDoS is an abbreviation for "Distributed Denial of Service". It is a label given to what happens when a "rouge actor" sets up a system where a large number of computers "hammers" a service with incessant networking, and the service gets bogged down so that it fails to provide service.

That is what git.devuan.org is suffering of; a constant such hammering is happening that is a magnitude or more larger than how it was just a year ago.

The Anubis front-end feature makes it possible for git.devuan.org to provide service.

Your input is without value unless you can provide an alternative solution.

"Brought no result" is perhaps not too expressive.

Does this mean that you copied the ISO file onto the device as suggested? Could you please show the exact command you used when doing that?

Did you try booting in legacy mode as well as UEFI, and in both cases the console display stayed off?

It is quite peculiar (and unusual) that your system has such a hard time booting. You never told which CPU it is. And the machine assembly as a whole, is that a certain "brand" or is it your own assembly? What's the brand of the USB stick?

Thanks. Peculiar. Which brand of computer is it? I mean, which hardware, especially which CPU.

How did you copy the Devuan installer image to the USB stick?

What does "and loads" mean?

Is "secure boot" is turned off?
