The Devuan distribution is based on Debian without systemd
Devuan uses sysvinit as the default init system although other init systems are available
A network connection is not required during installation as all required files are in each image. An assortment of non-free network packages are pre-installed so network connection should be possible after the installation
Common to all images:
Two distro versions, Devuan2 or Devuan3:
Two desktops, Cinnamon or XFCE
Two kernel flavours, PREEMPT_RT or RTAI:
Kernel versions:
Default root password is 1234
Default user is lcnc with 1234 as the password, this is set for automatic login
You can install directly from the running Live CD by clicking Menu - Administration - Refracta Installer
Default swap is an inbuilt 1Gb swap file so you can create a single partition on your drive if you prefer, otherwise create a swap partition during install and select that rather than a swap file
Passwords may be changed during the installation
The default user name may be changed during the installation. This will delete the existing user (lcnc) and the new user will start with a default profile and manual login
Tested on a VmWare virtual machine and on a baremetal machine booting from a 8Gb USB thumb drive burnt with Balena Etcher on a iMac
The RTAI images do not fully utilise all display adapters. The baremetal machine with Intel 915 graphics was restricted to 1024 x 768 and software 3D
Available here

Well done sir
Was having a look at that the other day.

Will download and have a look and let you know how it goes.

Vbox was ok, Cinnamon crashed but restarted ok, has a message about running in software rendering mode.
Yep runs apache from boot, accessible in firefox @ 127.0.0.1.
Haven't installed on baremetal yet, still working on a Mint 19.2 iso, not enough free space for extra partitions on my hdd.
Ran through a few sims, issue with PyQt5 but neither here nor there really.

Would it be possible to include the RTAI kernel from www.linuxcnc.org/temp/ too? That has ~5-10 times better latency.
