paul@63 43 <h3>Clex - Command line File Manager</h3>
paul@63 44 <p>
paul@332 45 To navigate through your folders and directories you can use <code>cd</code>
paul@332 46 on the command line or launch the 'Clex File Manager'. Using ncurses,
paul@332 47 clex is fast and easy to use and can be configured through the files
paul@332 48 ~/.clexrc and ~/.clexbm (bookmarks) or via the panel (ctrl -g).
paul@332 49 To start clex from a terminal or console:
paul@63 50 </p>
paul@63 51 <pre>
paul@63 52 $ clex
paul@63 53 </pre>
paul@63 54
paul@332 55 <a name="pcmanfm"></a>
paul@332 56 <h3>PCmanFM - File Manager</h3>
paul@63 57 <p>
paul@332 58 PCmanFM is a file manager providing many useful functions for daily tasks
paul@332 59 such as managing devices, opening terminals in the current directory,
paul@334 60 tabbed browsing, drag and drop, creating directories or managing file
paul@334 61 permissions. It contains bookmarks to allow you to browse faster, search
paul@334 62 functions and much more. PCmanFM can be launched with some command line
paul@334 63 options - you can set the wallpaper to display or open folders in new
paul@334 64 tabs, etc. For a full list of options: <code>$ pcmanfm --help-all</code>.
paul@63 65 </p>
paul@63 66 <p>
paul@334 67 PCmanFM supports hotkeys (firefox) and the context menu
paul@334 68 (right click on file/directory) makes it easy to unpack
paul@334 69 <code>.taz .gz</code> archives, compress and create archives.

paul@63 73 <h3>Htop - View system processes</h3>
paul@63 74 <p>
paul@332 75 Htop is a system process viewer that displays cpu load, memory state (RAM)
paul@332 76 and swap used. It can also display the number of tasks, uptime and PIDs
paul@332 77 of active processes. Htop can be used with the keyboard in console mode,
paul@332 78 the mouse with a X terminal (xterm) and provides configuration options (F2).
paul@332 79 Htop can also kill processes - you can select items with the up/down
paul@332 80 arrows or a mouse click. Note htop also functions via SSH and can be used
paul@332 81 to monitor a remote server:
paul@63 82 </p>
paul@63 83 <pre>
paul@332 84 # tazpkg get-install htop
paul@63 85 </pre>

paul@63 88 <h3>Mountbox - Mount devices</h3>
paul@63 89 <p>
paul@332 90 Mountbox is a small GTK+ application to quickly mount media such as a
paul@332 91 USB drive, hard drive or cdrom. Mountbox can be launched from a terminal
paul@332 92 or via the Tools menu (System Tools). Simply specify the peripheral
paul@332 93 (Device) and the mount point, ie. the directory where you want to access
paul@332 94 the media in question. Typically a CD is mounted on /media/cdrom, a USB
paul@332 95 key on /media/flash and disk drives on the local machine on /mnt. Note
paul@332 96 the <a href="system-admin.html#devices">Handbook</a> also contains more
paul@332 97 information.

paul@63 102 <p>
paul@332 103 Gparted is a graphical application making it possible to manage the
paul@332 104 partitions of a local hard drive or USB media. It allows you to reformat,
paul@332 105 resize or check a partition on a hard drive and is the tool of choice if
paul@332 106 you need to prepare a partition to install SliTaz. Gparted supports proper
paul@332 107 GNU/Linux filesystems (ext2 and ext3) via mkfs, and Parted automatically
paul@332 108 handles dependancies.

paul@332 114 install the package <code>dosfstools</code>. To enable read/write support
paul@332 115 for NTFS partitions: <code>fuse</code>, <code>ntfs-3g</code> and
paul@332 116 <code>ntfsprogs</code>.
