Hi everyone!

I thought I'd try to install Beowulf inside VirtualBox to see if there's
anything I could help with.

I'm using

http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20190625+devuan7/images/netboot/mini.iso

(is there a newer image?)

First finding: the only way I could get the installation to finish
correctly was to remove all of the "software selections" (tasksel). Not
doing so would (somehow) lead to GRUB installation failing with

"unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda"

and on TTY4

"grub-installer: cannot copy `/usr/share/locale/ru.gmo` to
`/boot/grub/locale/ru.mo`: Is a directory"

My partition layout is just this:
- ext4 partition for root
- swap partition

Is this a known bug?

Thanks for your time!
