Hi everybody.

This week I have downloaded and used the 'minimal-live'
iso image of devuan to rescue a machine that stopped booting.

The problem started after a debian/wheezy to devuan/jessie
migration. After rebooting, grub was broken. I have later looked
at the apt logs, and the only unexpected thing I see is that:

/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub:

I downloaded the 'minimal-live' from ascii and used it to boot from USB.

I found that the packages mdadm (for RAID) and lvm2 (for LVM) were not installed
in the 'minimal-live', so I had to install them prior to use them.

This would have been an embarrasing situation in case I had no network connection,
but fortunately it was not the case.

So I think those packages should be ready-to-use in the minimal-live, specially as
it is announced as a rescue tool. RAID and LVM are not something 'rare', I guess.

I would report a bug, but I don't know how to do it. ¿Is there a 'Package' related
to the build of the 'minimal-live' iso? ¿How to check if there are bugs
already related to this?

Also, I would have appreciated to find in the web an exhaustive list of packages
installed in every iso. ¿Is there that list anywhere?

Cheers,
Salo.
