There is no official Devuan release, to the best of our understanding,
but only alpha stages. So your comment might be a bit out ot scope. I
suppose that once a proper Devuan release will be out, you will be
given the possibility to download not just the installer but also the
images of the 20-more CDs needed to contain all the packages of the
release.

Anyway, I don't see why you need to reinstall from scratch if you want
to "test the install and the RELEASE often". If you are testing the
installer, then going with the netinst image would be all you might
need to do, IMHO...

Please accept my apologies if I am missing something here.
