A great place to start would be contributing end-user documentation to the Wiki at https://github.com/voidlinux/documentation/wiki. Some High-Level thoughts: * Networking * Getting Desktop Environment Up * thorough xbps-query examples Would be good starts.

Anyway, what bougyman said is perfectly ok. Contributing to the wiki, void-packages or even donations is always welcome.

Not sure if this persisted thereafter, I found myself downloading fonts and icon sets and pretty quickly and haven't had a problem since. Initial booting looked fine, still does. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 399 bytes --] I have added a quickstart-article in the wiki, explaining the steps to get from a freshly installed base system to Xorg with XFCE and LightDM without going too much into the details. Basically most of the information was already present in the wiki but maybe this will help new users to easier overcome the initial problems in the future. Please feel free to complement what I forgot :) [-- Attachment #1.2: Type: text/html, Size: 432 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
