70 From spring 2011 the new way (and tool) to configure the system is TazPanel.
|
pankso@102
|
71 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
|
paul@107
|
72 can control your entire system, this includes package management, adding or
|
paul@104
|
73 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides
|
paul@104
|
74 a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the
|
pankso@141
|
75 panel you can use the menu entry in "System Tools” or this url:

106 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
|
pascal@150
|
107 at the top left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
|
Christian@112
|
108 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. Tazpanel provides
|
Christian@112
|
109 a nice GUI for package management through the
|
Christian@112
|
110 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi">Packages</a> tab. To retrieve a list of all
|
Christian@112
|
111 installed packages, open Tazpanel and navigate to the
|
Christian@112
|
112 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi?list">My Packages</a> page. To install new
|
Christian@112
|
113 packages, you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or a USB storage
|
Christian@112
|
114 device containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
|
Christian@112
|
115 can also be done from the command line using <code>tazpkg</code>.

|
paul@40
|
123 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages

Christian@113
|
124 manager in Tazpanel. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
|
pankso@141
|

|
pankso@141
|

138 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
|
paul@45
|
139 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
|
paul@45
|
140 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
|
paul@45
|
141 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
|
paul@96
|
142 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
|
pascal@150

143 check the full documentation and/or use the <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum</a>.

146 Videos using common HTML5 codecs such as WEBM or MPEG4 can be watched out-of-the-box.
|
pascal@150

147 Other videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
|
paul@45
|
148 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players

159 By default, SliTaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
|
paul@51
|
160 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
|
pankso@38
|
161 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
|
Christian@115
|
162 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password. To run a graphical application
|
Christian@115
|
163 as root, use <code>subox</code>. For example, to run leafpad as root you
|
Christian@115
|
164 would run <code>subox leafpad</code>.

|
Christian@116
|
172 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/installer.cgi">SliTaz Installer</a> in Tazpanel. The installer makes a full HD install.
|
paul@96

173 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and

paul@41
|
174 everything is persistent.

178 the "System Tools” menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More
