In the install guide, under installation images, it refers to devuan.org:
  "From mirrors listed on devuan.org that may be closer to you"
But that's now where the mirrors are listed;
  they are on https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan
It says to download the SHA256SUMS from the release archive.
  * They aren't actually in the place pointed to; rather refer the reader to the 
    "same directory you downloaded the release from"  
  * The SHA256SUMS for chimaera aren't there yet, though the ones for older 
    releases are.


In the actual 'Installing Devuan" section:
  * Step 10: What if there's no space at all on disk?
  * Step 15: Are deb,devuan.org and pkgmaster.devuan.org current?
             What about the long list of mirrors previously mentioned?
  * Step 18:In my experience, installing the packages I've selected takes a lot 
    of time, not 'little' time.
  * Step 20: occurs twice.

Surprised to see gentoo listed as a file manager instead of as a distro. But it
seems to be correct.
Isn't slim also a dislpay manager? Does it need d-bus?
Isn't xchat a IRC clint? Does it need d-bus?

The command for finding the correct display driver:
root@devuan:~# apt-cache search xserver-xorg-video-.* | pager
Shouldn't the '*' be quoted in some manner so that the apt-cache command gets to
interpret it instead of the shell:

same for input drivers:
root@devuan:~# apt-cache search xserver-xorg-input-.* | pager
