I had looked up (and just looked it up again) that directory in Firefox, and searching for "asc" (w/o quotes) does not find anything.
...
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/latest/
which exists, but upon trying to entering that string in the address bar of the Firefox, it only offers one single file for download, and that is the
refracta8_xfce_amd64-20161013_1314.iso
No other files are accessible. Well, it might be only me... Not likely, but possible...

I can confirm all the above having just logged in qith Qemu virtual machine running your great
image!
refracta8_xfce_amd64-20161013_1314.iso
There's just one difference, The .../latest/ page says:

> The interactive file manager requires Javascript. Please enable it or use sftp or scp.
> You may still browse the files here.

So there is one instance of string asc found from Qemu.

Back to adding a quick reply from Qemu's Refracta:
How safe is (I'm not an expert) being logged twice like this?

This link will give you access to all the files at the refracta sourceforge site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files
And if that doesn't work, the main (summary) page is:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta
I think I've been logged into the forum in two different browser tabs at the same time - one to post and one to search. Didn't seem to cause any problems.
The "latest" link is for whatever is the last iso I uploaded (or touched). It goes by the file date.

This latest refracta works perfectly in my Qemu VM.. And that is important.
Thank you!

I don't know what you have set up for port forwarding, but be aware that ssh is running and the passwords are public knowledge. user can log in, root needs authentication keys to log in.

I'm only so happy Refracta is so great! I've been playing very seriously with virtualization, I mean learning if very seriously...
And this is the easiest VM out there to use, and it works marvellously!
I love Devuan, but I'm too little talented to help much at all.
I'm using:
unofficial_live_devuan_beta_amd64_snapshot-20161205_2229.iso
from SourceForge,
and of course, I checked the md5:
unofficial_live_devuan_beta_amd64_snapshot-20161205_2229.iso.md5
(also found on SourceForge, but very few people check it, and what can you about it...)
Thank you! Really good work! I will never use anything with systemDestruction in it!

Glad you like it. Note: The unofficial devuan live does not have openssh-server installed. That's only in the refracta isos.
New refracta isos are coming soon (today? tomorrow?) which will have the latest security updates. New unofficial devuan live isos will come some time in the future.
Re-reading your message above - the notice you got at sourceforge about the interactive file-manager requiring javascript is only relevant if you are going to upload or delete files from the site. You don't need js to download, and you can even use wget - just remove the "/download" from the URL, so it ends with the actual file name.

Hey y'all, haven't played with the latest Snapshot yet (been too busy to have any fun lately, lol) but am rolling myself new versions of my devuan minimal iso's, i'm currently still on a very modded version of the last beta Snapshot before 10.0.0.
I downloaded new copies of the latest Snapshot and Installer and am about to update the iso i'm building with them.
Just wondering if there's any new dependencies I need to install, and if I still need to follow the procedure detailed here for making both a uefi-enabled iso and also a uefi-installable iso are correct? :

> fsmithred wrote:The partitions you're on don't matter for building a uefi-ready iso. If you're building this on bios hardware, just install grub-efi-amd64 and grub-efi-amd64-bin. I don't think they'll be able to to a grub-install since you don't have an efi partiton. It will remove grub-pc, but that doesn't have to be permanent. You can build the iso when the efi packages are installed.
> The beta version of refractasnapshot that handles uefi is set to puke if you don't have grub-efi installed, but I just added code to optionally override that. I need to be able to do that to make an iso that can be installed on uefi or bios.
> You can reinstall grub-pc, and it will remove grub-efi-amd64, but not grub-efi-amd64-bin. That one can coexist, and it's needed for the iso to boot on uefi. And you can make a uefi-bootable iso after you've reinstalled grub-pc. Just keep a copy of the grub-efi .debs for when you install on uefi hardware. And you must use the version of refractasnapshot that I haven't packaged yet. Should be ready in a day or two.
