    1.17    * [[de:handbook:start|Handbuch]] - Generelles Referenzwerk für die Systembenützung durch den Anwender, durch den [[de:vocab:root|Verwalter]] sowie durch den Entwickler. Es fasst Referenzschriften, Mini-Handbücher und eine Sammlung von Anweisungen zusammen und bildet somit ein vollständiges Werk hoher Qualität, in welchem man leicht und schnell Rat zu den jeweiligen Fragen findet. Es erklärt, wie man die live-CD benützt, gibt Installationsanweisungen, liefert die Kommando-Zeilen-Parameter, um Pakete zu installieren, live-CD's selbst zu erzeugen, und behandelt auch viele weitere Themen. Wir Empfehlen, zuerst dieses Buch durchzulesen, immer wieder zur Hilfe zu ziehen, bis man den Stoff gut beherrscht, und nahezu auswendig kennt.

     2.4 +====== Few things to note before asking for support ======
     2.5 +
     2.6 +=== 1. Please provide us with as much information as possible ===
     2.7 +Telling us that something is broken doesn't help solve it because it may run perfectly fine on our systems. This means you'll have to provide us with more information so we can help you. This will include the steps you took before and after installing the program, your current systems specifications and which version of SliTaz you're using. If a program fails to open, try running it in terminal and copying down the error. If a piece of hardware doesn't work, see what lsusb (may need the usbutils package), lspci and dmesg commands have to say when you plug in the device. The more information you can provide us, the quicker we can solve your problem.
     2.8 +
     2.9 +=== 2. SliTaz is not Windows or Ubuntu ===
    2.10 +If you're expecting an easy Windows or Ubuntu replacement in an 30MB big iso, then you'll sadly be disappointed. SliTaz was designed to be lightweight, fast and small so it can run on older hardware. This means a lot of the larger packages have been stripped out to save room. It is possible to make SliTaz act and look like either Windows or Ubuntu, but don't expect every kind of functionality to work out of the box. Remember, even with Ubuntu and Windows you still have to install some things before you can use them. If you wish to use an Linux distribution that works out of the box, give Linux Mint or PCLinuxOS a go.
    2.11 +
    2.12 +=== 3. SliTaz isn't based on any other distribution ===
    2.13 +SliTaz was made from scratch using the Linux Kernel, Busybox, OpenBox and some LXDE tools. It has it's own package management system and most of the packages are made by volunteers. SliTaz does however boast the ability to convert packages from other distributions using the tazpkg convert command.
    2.14 +
    2.15 +=== 4. We're unpaid volunteers and not your employees ===
    2.16 +Remember that you haven't paid the developers who wrote SliTaz or the people online who provide the support. They don't owe you anything. So ask nicely and we'll help you in due time. Demanding support will only get you shunned or ignored.
