1 ====== Frequently Asked Questions ======
3 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.
5 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.

26 ===== Questions Still Unanswered? =====
28 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]]!
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.
32 ** Your first post should include the following things: **
34 * detailed information about your hardware
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:
37 <code>
38 echo '=== PCI Devices: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lspci >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== USB Devices: ===' \
39 >> SysInfo.txt && lsusb >> SysInfo.txt && echo '=== Kernel Modules: ===' >> SysInfo.txt && lsmod >> SysInfo.txt
40 </code>
42 * precise information about your SliTaz installation:
43 * which version to you have? Stable or Cooking?
44 * are you using the standard ISO or a specific flavor (XVESA, Lo-RAM etc.)?
45 * is it installed on a HD or on an USB stick?
46 * do you know which file-system you used?
48 * identify when your problem appeared:
49 * was it just after installation or after an update?
50 * were there any changes to your normal usage pattern or configuration?
52 This should provide enough system information for help to be provided.
