    Hi!

    I had an issue installing this and thought I'd ask in case I'm missing
    something crucial. When I went to install to hard disk, the kernel
    wouldn't install because initrd wouldn't recognize something called live
    boot in /etc. I had to delete it and manually run mkinitrdramfs to create
    the initrd image, then copy it to /boot and symlink to /initrd.img. After
    this everything went OK, except that the sound system only included alsa,
    no pulseaudio or oss compatibility (I've since added osspd and pulseaudio
    for pavucontrol). I'm a long time Debian SID user, having had my own
    systemd work around. I would autologin with a script called from
    /etc/inittab (instead of the getty call), and was able to remove systemd
    entirely except for systemd-udev, which is not really part of systemd but a
    systemd-aware version of udev. However, I was having problems with Debian
    packages not installing because they depended on systemd. I was
    experiencing these same problems installing Trinity when I found Exe
    Gnu/Linux, an overall great experience except for minor install issues,
    including a huge font setting which made some of the buttons go off-screen!

    I'm no expert and don't know how much more difficult it would have been to
    install Devuan and Trinity separately on my own. A big difference I'm
    noticing is that dbus is not popping up all over the place.

    Hello!
    After the installation noticed that Exe GNU/Linux was without the sound.
    I managed to solve it by installing PulseAudio.
    sudo apt install pulseaudio
    To enable PulseAudio go to menu/Multimedia/KMix, in Current Mixer select: PulseAudio.

      Pulseaudio doesn't replace Alsa, it works with it, so you don't have to enable anything. But there is Pavucontrol (apt-get install pavucontrol) which allows you control of Pulseaudio and its enhancements of Alsa.

    Ok I got it, thanks for the explanations.
