     1.4 +====== Frequently Asked Questions ======
     1.5 +
     1.6 +Listed here are the most frequently asked questions from the user forums. Please check here to see if your problem has been fixed before starting a new forum thread.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +These are organised into per-scenario groups - from  system-level through to the desktop. Within each, a symptom describes a give-away identification of the problem; a widely-working solution is then outlined.

    1.30 +
    1.31 +No problem! We are happy to hear your question over at our [[http://forum.slitaz.org/|Support Forum]] -- or even the [[http://www.slitaz.org/en/mailing-list.html|Mailing List]] if it is a more lengthy discussion -- once you have looked through our [[http://doc.slitaz.org/en:start|documentation]]!

    1.33 +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.
    1.34 +
    1.35 +** Your first post should include the following things: **
    1.36 +
    1.37 +  * detailed information about your hardware
    1.38 +    *  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:
    1.39 + 
    1.40 +<code>
    1.41 +echo '=== PCI Devices: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lspci >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== USB Devices: ===' \ 
    1.42 +>> SysInfo.txt && lsusb >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== Kernel Modules: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lsmod >> SysInfo.txt
    1.43 +</code>
    1.44 +
    1.45 +  * precise information about your SliTaz installation:
    1.46 +    *  which version to you have? Stable or Cooking?
    1.47 +    *  are you using the standard ISO or a specific flavor (XVESA, Lo-RAM etc.)?
    1.48 +    *  is it installed on a HD or on an USB stick?
    1.49 +    *  do you know which file-system you used?
    1.50 +
    1.51 +  * identify when your problem appeared:
    1.52 +    *  was it just after installation or after an update?
    1.53 +    *  were there any changes to your normal usage pattern or configuration?
    1.54 +
    1.55 +This should provide enough system information for help to be provided.
