==== Devuan installation ====
<wrap right>
</wrap>

=== Download ===

Visit [[https://devuan.org/get-devuan]] and locate the latest download image.

Fetch the image (Raspberry Pi Zero)
<code>
wget http://devuan.ksx4system.net/devuan_ascii/embedded/devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armel_raspi1.img.xz
</code>

Verify the file with the hash on the download page.

Decompress.
<code>
unxz devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armel_raspi1.img.xz
</code>

=== Install ===

Place a microsd card in your desktop system and write the image.

In this instance, the microsd card is detected as sdd.
<code>
sudo dd if=devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armel_raspi1.img of=/dev/sdd bs=4M
</code>

Initiate a rescan of the device.
<code>
su root -c 'echo 1 > /sys/block/sdd/device/rescan'
</code>

=== Edit config ===

Mount the RPi boot partition and make some changes.
<code>
su -m
mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
vi /mnt/config.txt
</code>

Some example options for config.txt.
<code>
sdtv_mode=2
#dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem=16
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835
#dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=i2c_vc=on
#dtoverlay=w1-gpio,gpiopin=4
#dtoverlay=dht11,gpiopin=17
</code>

Un mount the boot partition.
<code>
umount /mnt
</code>

=== Edit networking ===

Mount the system partition and set up networking. This
will allow us to login after the Pi boots and finalise the
set up.

<code>
mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt
vi /mnt/etc/network/interfaces
vi /mnt/etc/resolv.conf
</code>

If you need to use WiFI, Eg. BELKIN FD00000, place the
firmware in /lib/firmware (rt73.bin).

Un mount the system partition.
<code>
umount /mnt
</code>

===Boot and login===

=== Install Broadcom WiFi driver (if present)===

<code>
apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/master/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt -O /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt
</code>
=== Disable undesired services ===

Edit /etc/inittab and disable unnecessary gettys and reboot.



=== Finish off ===

When we log in now we have a mean and lean linux installation but
no service management. I prefer runit or you may prefer daemontools.

Set up runit/daemontools now as required and you are done.
