Ask more questions, more frequently, and there'll be more FAQs!

Installation

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Where's USB-based media?
    • It'll be made available as soon as it's available.

X

  1. I ran startx and just have an ugly black xterm! This is worse than the console!
  2. Can't I have a graphical login?

Misc

  1. Why does all of this suck so much?
    • Humility is endless.
    • You get what you pay for.
    • Patches are welcome.
  2. Where can I send these patches?
    • sprezzos-dev@googlegroups.com, or better yet attach them to a bug.
  3. Using Facebook as a login mechanism for the wiki makes me unhappy!
    • That is a statement, not a question.
  4. 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.
