Ask more questions, more frequently, and there'll be more FAQs!
Installation
- I just installed, and my machine seems broken. It just says "login" on a black screen. Ought I lose hope?
- No; you're in the shell environment. X.org is not installed by default in SprezzOS 1.
- If you want to run it, you'll need log in and install the xorg-xserver package, the appropriate video package, and appropriate input packages.
- I don't need no stinking text mode! Will you ever install X.org by default?
- We plan to support configuration of X.org directly from the installer of SprezzOS 2.
- Where's USB-based media?
- It'll be made available as soon as it's available.
X
- I ran startx and just have an ugly black xterm! This is worse than the console!
- You need to install a window manager, and run it in your .xinitrc.
- Can't I have a graphical login?
- Yes; you need to install and enable a display manager.
Misc
- Why does all of this suck so much?
- Humility is endless.
- You get what you pay for.
- Patches are welcome.
- Where can I send these patches?
- sprezzos-dev@googlegroups.com, or better yet attach them to a bug.
- Using Facebook as a login mechanism for the wiki makes me unhappy!
- That is a statement, not a question.
- Don't you know that successful large projects need consensus, not a HIC?
- The Linux kernel and Linus Torvalds would seem to be a counterexample, but I suppose that only time will tell.
