pankso@38 91 <p>
paul@40 92 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
paul@40 93 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
paul@40 94 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the famous and powerful
paul@40 95 OpenOffice suite: just search OpenOffice in the packages manager, double click
paul@40 96 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
paul@40 97 enabled.

pankso@38 115 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
pankso@38 116 <p>
paul@40 117 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@40 118 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any dangerous work.
pankso@38 119 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
pankso@38 120 type <code>su</code>, and enter the root password.
pankso@38 121 </p>

pankso@38 124 <h3>Installation</h3>
pankso@38 125 <p>
paul@40 126 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
paul@40 127 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@42 128 SliTaz won't work in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 129 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 130 </p>
pankso@38 131 <p>
paul@40 132 To generate a LiveUSB system you can use "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
paul@40 133 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
paul@40 134 Handbook: <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/liveusb.html">LiveUSB media</a>
