The Devuan installer ISO has a boot screen offering options 1-8, where
1-4 are without speech and 5-8 are the same options with speech. This
is a quite different boot menu system from the previous one where the
shortcut S selected something. Here the options are selected with
their numbers and unfortunately syslinux doesn't offer multiple
shortcuts for options which otherwise would have made it easy to also
select 5 by S.

For sure the boot screen layout could be documented more and at more
places. As far as I remember BOOTHELP.txt largely contains your
contributed text. It was stuffed into the media to ba immediately
available when inspecting it but, as you indicate, that will obviously
only be useful for people who pay attention.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm sure the new team will take it into
consideration for future installer ISO publishing.

regards,

Ralph.
