Guys, does sparky have the proprietary ati drivers?
No it has not.
Great distro, keep up the good work
How to you get the wbar to stay on top? Or auto hide?
@ sieben
WbarConfig-> Preferences-> Run over the desktop.
There is not an option to autohide.

Hi. The installer has been changed for SparkyLinux 2.x so the guide was upgraded. You can set locales up on the beginning of the installation proces now. The step 26 of “language settings” was at SparkyLinux 1.0 only.
I can`t find the “language settings” mentioned in step 26 of the installation guide.

Please advise.
Is e17 the latest stable release?
Thanks
No yet, It’s still 0.16.999.70492
you guys need to consider adding the option for a /boot partition during install.
Hi
The iso image of “Eris” has two desktops: e17 and LXDE

Of Sparky Linux LXDE version? It’s not

What is the administrative password?
I have tried leaving it blank
I have tried “none”
I have tried “live”
I have tried “sparky”
None of the above work when running live from the CD/DVD, Same problem when I installed to USB and ran it live from the USB.
I cannot find it in the release notes nor in the FAQ. I don’t speak Polish.
Thanks
Joe
