Okay, first off, I didn't see your email in the list yet, but it is
addressed to the list; so I'll reply with list inclusion...

I have tried ASCII 2.0 -- but it looks like there is a new 2.1 version
just about to be announced?

Installing with ASCII 2.0 wouldn't boot properly to the XFCE desktop and
I wasn't interested in changing kernels or doing anything else to make
it work out of the box, including trying to work out why XFCE was a
problem with Devuan ASCII.


Maybe I should try ASCII 2.1 -- but I was expecting Beowulf to be here
"any time soon" ... for a longggg while now.


The MX installer doesn't support installation installation on RAID1
mdadm devices! I prefer to use RAID1 for everything, then LUKS on all
but the /boot partition with LVM2 -- that sort of setup isn't possible
with the MX installer.

But XFCE works perfectly out of the box with MX, so I have something to
work with in the meantime.

Kind Regards
