Nice howto. Not too long - just the right length.

Is there a devuan-installer package, or are we just using the debian
installer?

These will already be installed in Refracta or Exegnulinux. (Possibly not
live-tools, I think I left it out in the last Refracta builds. I'm pretty
sure that all it does is change update-initramfs so it puts the updated
initrd in /live instead of in /boot.)

Try it with 'mksquashfs -comp=xz' for a smaller file. If you can compress
better than that, I would like to know more about it. Thanks.
