pankso@102 69 <p>
paul@104 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:

al@137 83
al@137 84 <p>Open Tazpanel and go to the
al@137 85 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi">Network</a> tab. This shows a basic
al@137 86 overview of your networking interfaces and their states. To configure your
al@137 87 Ethernet device, mouse over the Network tab and select
al@137 88 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi?eth">Ethernet</a>. From here you can
al@137 89 configure your device to use DHCP or a static address. To configure Wireless
al@137 90 devices, mouse over the Network tab and select
al@137 91 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi?wifi">Wireless</a>. Here you can select
al@137 92 a network to connect to. When you click on the desired network, the Connection
al@137 93 box underneath will be appropriately filled in. Next, enter your passphrase or
al@137 94 leave the field blank for none. Finally, click the Configure button to apply
al@137 95 settings.</p>

pankso@38 105 <p>
paul@97 106 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>.

Christian@113 122 The SliTaz packages database provides a variety of lightweight office applications.
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@141 125 LibreOffice suite: just search for "LibreOffice” in the packages manager, double click
pankso@141 126 on "get-LibreOffice”, select the "Auto install non free package” checkbox, and click
Christian@113 127 Install.
pankso@38 128 </p>
pankso@38 129 <p>
paul@107 130 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword as the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
pankso@38 131 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.

al@137 136
pankso@44 137 <p>
pankso@44 138 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>.

pascal@150 146 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
pascal@151 149 available under GNU/Linux:
pascal@151 150 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=mplayer">mplayer</a>,

al@137 156 <h3 id="root">Becoming Root</h3>
al@137 157
pankso@38 158 <p>
al@149 159 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>.

al@137 168 <h3 id="install">Installation</h3>
al@137 169
pankso@38 170 <p>
paul@40 171 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
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.
pankso@38 175 </p>
pankso@38 176 <p>
pankso@141 177 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool” from
pankso@141 178 the "System Tools” menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More
pankso@141 179 information can be found in the SliTaz Handbook:
