Thanks for the offer Alessandro! The best place(s) to put that info
would be a HowTo under 'Documentation' on the dev1galaxy.org forum or on
the Friends of Devuan wiki at
https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php/start. Actually would be good to
have something in both places. Ping me if you have any questions. If
you're coming to the d1conf, you could even do a presentation about it!!
And if it's not definitively solved to your satisfaction by then, there
could be a hacking session to get it done. :D
