|
paul@51
|
69 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then

|
paul@96
|
73 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
|
paul@97
|
74 connection, you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
|
paul@94
|
75 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks

|
paul@97
|
87 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button

|
pankso@44
|
92 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
|
paul@96
|
93 containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
|
pankso@44

100 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
|
paul@40
|
101 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
|
paul@51
|
102 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
|
paul@51
|
103 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
|
paul@40
|
104 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
|
paul@40
|
105 enabled.
|
pankso@38
|
106 </p>
|
pankso@38
|
107 <p>
|
paul@96
|
108 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword for the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
|
pankso@38
|
109 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.

|
115 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
|
paul@45
|
116 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
|
paul@45
|
117 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
|
paul@45
|
118 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
|
paul@96
|
119 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
|
paul@94
|
120 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.

123 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
|
paul@45
|
124 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
|
paul@96
|
125 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.

129 <h3>System information</h3>
|
pankso@38
|
130 <p>
|
pankso@38
|
131 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
|
paul@52
|
132 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
|
paul@96
|
133 buttons offers you more information, and using the benchmarks can
|
paul@94
|
134 give you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
|
paul@97
|
135 of all your current processes, you can use the "Task Manager".

139 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
|
pankso@38
|
140 <p>
|
paul@40
|
141 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
|
paul@51
|
142 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
|
pankso@38
|
143 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
|
paul@96
|
144 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.

148 <h3>Installation</h3>
|
pankso@38
|
149 <p>
|
paul@40
|
150 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
|
paul@40
|
151 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
|
paul@96
|
152 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
|
paul@41
|
153 everything is persistent.
|
pankso@38
|
154 </p>
|
pankso@38
|
155 <p>
|
paul@97
|
156 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
|
paul@40
|
157 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
