Talk:DebXO

I'm having some issues with debxo 0.3.

1) I wanted to have a login name of quixote, but when I changed it, using "usermod -L quixote olpc", the shutdown gui ceased working again. Could this be related to the earlier issue, in 0.2, that prevented shutdown from working? I've switched it back to "olpc" but shutdown still doesn't work. Hibernate generates error messages and aborts back to regular "on" mode.

2) Trying to establish a new user resulted in lots of things not being set up, such as wireless networking. Is there a simple way to set up another user just like the "olpc" user?

3) I gather "zcat" does a raw write, because my 16GB SD HC became a 2GB SD with lots of unallocated space. Maybe it would be good to let people know they'll have unallocated space with a card or thumbdrive larger than 2GB. I set it up as my new /home partition and am enjoying all the oceans of space!

Other than those issues, I'm finding debxo to be stable. It boots up quite quickly. And the install, with that nice little zcat command I'd never seen before, couldn't be simpler.

Thanks!
