I am searching devuan site over and over again, but I am not
able to find any DVD.iso of this version.

Was anybody able to dnld this .iso ?

(I need the i386 version, not amd64 or arm)

tnx in advance

(even Daedalus, "testing" is not easy to find)

There's no ceres/unstable ISO of Devuan AFAIK. You have to install the
latest stable and upgrade from there.

Mmm, I see. So I have to do a jump from the stable directly
to unstable (skipping testing), right ?

Yes. You can skip testing.

Even if Devuan has a ceres mini.iso, you're going to be recommended to
install stable first anyway, just like what Debian recommends at
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable

Ah nevermind, I'm wrong. It's the same instruction as Debian; go to one
of the package mirrors, but replaced "debian" with "devuan". Here's an
example:
http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/devuan/dists/unstable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/

However, according to this forum post from 2018 at
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10357#p10357 , installing ceres
directly doesn't work. You could try I guess, but don't be surprised if
it borks for you too. ;)

intresting read, that made me realize that I am likely not
skilled enough to cope with selective update / upgrade
process on my own
