Now the help needed: I would like to create an Adélie chroot on a
partition
of a host running Devuan. Later, I would boot into it, using Grub's multiboot
facility, either with the same kernel as Devuan, or with Adélie's kernel, or
with one I compile myself. I have no free machine to install only Adélie on, and
I like to do things with care.
Are there ready-made images I could copy to a partition, or is it possible
to use the installation CD to do what I want?
Yes, you can download a "rootfs" tarball from one of the mirrors[1], and
extract
it to a freshly-formatted partition. That should get you quickly up and running.
The installer is almost (but not quite) ready, so the current installation CDs
still require manual installation process[2]. This would get you effectively the
same thing as a rootfs tarball.
There are also "rootfs-mini" tarballs that contain only the minimal set of
packages
necessary to run the package manager. I wouldn't recommend using them unless you
know exactly what you want beforehand.
