apt-get --no-install-recommends install
is what I've learned recently

I also dpkg --force-all -P elogind libelogind0 libpam-elogind libpolkit-agent-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 policykit-1 policykit-1-gnome
and then I apt-get download or dpkg -i libsystemd0
and it ain't broke at all whatsoever.

Thank bejesus we're not fooling around with systemd or whatever the frack it's called.
Seperate matter, ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether  `/usr/bin/hexdump -n6 -e '/1 "02x"' /dev/urandom`,) works, I don't give two hoots what anybody says, random MAC by wpa does not work, and random MAC by systemd does not work.
I suppose I must be a hairy shirt or some nonsense because I use wpa and things like post-up iwconfig wlan0 txpower 15 | rate 5.5M,
if you really want to have a seizure from laughing too much, take a glance at the man page for iw.
I wonder if the interweb would fall over without ifconfig and route, amongst other things.
It's really super that the Devuan netinst iso got net-tools on it.
Try to tell em nowt.

I know CCleaner and uBlock Origin are Windows friends.
I do not have webext-ublock-origin-chromium installed.
I run a super pristine snapshot, from startx.
My desktop, PCManFM UXTerm Beaver Chromium. (Viewnior Xpdf useful.)

Pre snapshot;
apt-get --no-install-recommends install chromium
rm -r /var/cache/apt/archives/*
user startx, open Chromium, settings - everything off, Intrusive ads - Any site you can visit can show any ad to you (Ads are blocked by browser is questionable.)
console; cp -r .config/chromium _chromium (running snapshot rm -r .config/chromium cp -r _chromium .config/chromium
dpkg -P chromium chromium-common

Boot snapshot toram,
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
dpkg -i -R /mnt/root/_browser # folder containing chromium chromium-common
apt-get update | upgrade
user, startx, open Chromium (creates .config/chromium,) Exit, Logout, substitute .config/chromium, startx

Yesterday Aliexpress login failed, today success, the problem is not my end, happens all the time.
Yesterday with Android, got the Aliexpress app from apk20 dot com, success. Android won the battle with my browser.
I think it is hacking Pentagon et all cat and mouse with Alibaba Aliexpress. Or maybe it's 'Jeff.'
My parcel by BRI (Belt and Road Initiative,) is in Britain faster than HM Customs to my door because of the wankers who run this Z World bordello nation that I live in.
Apart from the price is the availability of the product.
I still think PHP is crap.
If only I was a tree, perhaps I could log on.

come stai

an idea, first try, dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
I do this for font size because I am veteran war photographer WMD eyes damage.
Of course, install fonts.
Also, for me, I like ttf-bitstream-vera,
I go to /etc/fonts and I tar -cvf fonts.avail.tar fonts.avail and I tar -cvf fonts.d.tar fonts.d
so I have created tar backups (try reading them,)
so I can rm -r fonts.avail and fonts.d
which fucks ttf-dejavu all the beeping time,
and does not screw updates

off top head some ideas

Nothing on Startpage,
duckduckgo brings up mirrors dot dotsrc dot org

Just installed,

devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview-20230527_amd64_netinstall

Apart from that spurious ignore on partman,

got to continue without boot loader
& finish.

Success

Marvel!

Thank you very very much indeed fellas for the attention.

My BIOS is J3355B ASRock UEFI in big letters at the top of my display.
I always do one single partition.
I boot from rEFInd from a stick refind-flashdrive-0.12.0.zip 1992kB

I look forward to walking straight down the middle on main street, then I can install offline.

P.s. When I online installed Debian Bookworm RC 3 (chroot /target apt-get install sysvinit-core,) after, I installed refractainstaller-base and refractasnapshot-base. I got error so I tried ALL combinations of intel-microcode, install xz-utils, edit initramfs.conf.
I tried to keep intel-microcode but it had to go, I think it might be made of gorgonzola.

Andy.

To resurrect useful, pleasant on the eye;
cp /etc/rsyslog.conf /etc/_rsyslog.conf
vi /etc/rsyslog.conf

*.=debug;\
  auth,authpriv.none;\
  news.none;mail.none         -/var/log/debug
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
  auth,authpriv.none;\

  mail,news.none              -/var/log/messages

goes in at the bottom above emergencies.
/etc/init.d/rsyslogd stop
/etc/init.d/rsyslogd start
It works.
