Installing OS was pretty easy but I cannot expand the image size after installation. System is installed on 1.8 GB partition and cannot be expanded. The wiki says that

The images use recent kernels (4.10, 4.6, and such) which causes a specific
issue when you try to resize or fsck ext{2,3,4}: they use some ext4 features
not yet available in the standard Devuan Jessie e2fsprogs. Because of this, you
are advised to install e2fsprogs from jessie-backports if you are in need of
using these tools on these images.

I could not install e2fsprogs from jessie-backports. I wonder if you had luck with this OS for Asus c201xx
