-====== Devuan Installation ======
-My Devuan installation notes.
-====== Use Tips ======
-Some are applicable to any APT-based distro.
-//**Note for APT-based distro:** To remove translations, create file ''/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99translation'' and insert ''Acquire::Languages { "none"; };''.//
-//**Note:** look into ''unattended-upgrades'' (simply ''apt install'' and run ''dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades''???)//
-===== GRUB Stuffs =====
-To prevent GRUB from looking for other OS every time it is updated:
-  * edit ''/etc/default/grub'' and insert <code>GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true</code>
-  * run update-grub
-To add a custom entry:
-  * add a menuentry in ''/etc/grub.d/40_custom''
-  * uses the same menuentry format as in ''/boot/grub/grub.cfg''
-    * e.g. to boot my Slackware partition I can insert <code grub>
-menuentry 'Slackware' --class slackware --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'my1part-<uuid>' {
-	insmod part_gpt
-	insmod ext2
-	set root='hd0,gpt4'
-	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
-	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,gpt4 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt4 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt4  <uuid>
-	else
-	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 4d95a526-2518-4fd6-a904-f7bd2729145d
-	fi
-	linux /boot/vmlinuz-huge-4.4.240 root=/dev/sda4
-}
-</code>
-    * use ''initrd'' (after ''linux'' line) to specify an initrd/initramfs
-    * of course, <uuid> should be a valid filesystem uuid
-  * run update-grub
-===== KVM Stuffs =====
-If KVM group is missing, simply create one...
-<code># [ -z "$(cat /etc/group|grep kvm)" ] && addgroup --gid 125 kvm</code>
-====== Using Wine on Devuan ======
-Setup Wine (as root):
-  * enable multiarch
-  * install wine and winetricks <code># apt install wine wine32 winetricks</code>
-Configure Wine (as user):
-  * if required, remove previous settings <code>$ rm -rf $HOME/.wine</code>
-  * config for win32 <code>$ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg</code>
-  * setup nice fonts <code>$ winetricks corefonts</code>
-//Note: Install ''fuseiso'' to enable mounting ISO as user//
-===== Game: Red Alert 2 =====
-Setup Installer ISO:
-  * create link to ISO as CDROM device <code>$ ln -sf /path/to/install.iso $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/d::</code>
-  * mount ISO <code>$ fuseiso mount  /path/to/install.iso $HOME/.wine/drive_d</code>
-  * create link to mount path as CDROM drive <code>$ ln -sf $HOME/.wine/drive_d $HOME/.wine/dosdevices/d:</code>
-Run installer
-  * <code>$ wine D:\\Setup.exe</code>
-Fixes:
-  * menu does not show (solution available at [[https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=252|WineHQ]])
-    * download ddraw.dll from https://github.com/CnCNet/ts-ddraw/releases
-    * place in RA2 install path
-    * run winecfg add that to library (as window native, instead of builtin)
-===== Application: LTSpice =====
-  * download windows version from ltspice website and run <code>$ wine /download/path/LTspiceXVII.exe</code>
-====== Devuan on Raspberry Pi ======
-Check out [[http://arm-files.devuan.org/|here]].
