slaxemulator@7 30 Answering questions takes time however, to answer them well slightly longer. This time could be better spent for other necessary things, like improving SliTaz or writing documentation.
slaxemulator@7 31
slaxemulator@7 32 ** Your first post should include the following things: **
slaxemulator@7 33
slaxemulator@7 34 * detailed information about your hardware
slaxemulator@7 35 * e.g the manufacturer and model of your computer, motherboard or (even better) detailed chip information. The latter can be found by running the following command and uploading the generated //SysInfo.txt// file:
slaxemulator@7 36
slaxemulator@7 37 <code>
slaxemulator@7 38 echo '=== PCI Devices: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lspci >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== USB Devices: ===' \
slaxemulator@7 39 >> SysInfo.txt && lsusb >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== Kernel Modules: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lsmod >> SysInfo.txt
slaxemulator@7 40 </code>
slaxemulator@7 41
slaxemulator@7 42 * precise information about your SliTaz installation:
slaxemulator@7 43 * which version to you have? Stable or Cooking?
slaxemulator@7 44 * are you using the standard ISO or a specific flavor (XVESA, Lo-RAM etc.)?
slaxemulator@7 45 * is it installed on a HD or on an USB stick?
slaxemulator@7 46 * do you know which file-system you used?
slaxemulator@7 47
slaxemulator@7 48 * identify when your problem appeared:
slaxemulator@7 49 * was it just after installation or after an update?
slaxemulator@7 50 * were there any changes to your normal usage pattern or configuration?
slaxemulator@7 51
slaxemulator@7 52 This should provide enough system information for help to be provided.
