MX Ascii Respin - Devuan (final)

[rasat]

Sounds nice. Thanks for making this. I wonder if the upgrade path from MX Ascii to MX Beowulf is easier than MX Stretch to MX Buster because already systemd-free. Only downside it's not really MX... The antiX live stuff is missing, but I guess most MX users use an installed system anyway.

Already tested by changing "ascii" to "beowulf" in repo string, upgrade is smooth. Same will be by changing "stretch" to "buster" in MX string as long as MX don't change to complete different repo. In other words, the upgrade will be smooth without reinstalling the whole system. All MX and antiX stuff are there.

There is a change when upgrading ascii to beowulf. Don't run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", elogind does not get installed. Run instead:
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude full-upgrade
sudo apt --fix-broken install
sudo aptitude full-upgrade

Before upgrading, change ascii repos to beowulf:
