paul@40 73 <h3>Network connections</h3>
pankso@30 74 <p>
paul@51 75 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then
paul@51 76 "Configure" and the network manager (netbox) will come up. You can then
paul@40 77 go to the "DHCP" tab and click "Start", and Slitaz will send a DHCP request
paul@40 78 to the local router. You may also setup a static IP, PPPoE, PPP, VPN and
paul@96 79 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
paul@94 80 connection you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
paul@94 81 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks
paul@94 82 connections".

pankso@38 91 <h3>Applications</h3>
pankso@38 92 <p>
paul@40 93 To have a list of all graphical applications you can use the SliTaz menu button
paul@96 94 at the bottom left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools you
paul@40 95 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. And to have
paul@51 96 a list of all installed packages you can launch the package manager user interface
paul@51 97 from the Lxpanel icon or by using the "System Tools" menu entry. To install any new packages
pankso@44 98 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
paul@96 99 containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
pankso@44 100 can also be done from the command line and <code>tazpkg</code>.
pankso@38 101 </p>

pankso@38 104 <h3>Office suite</h3>
pankso@38 105 <p>
paul@40 106 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
paul@40 107 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
paul@51 108 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
paul@51 109 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
paul@40 110 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
paul@40 111 enabled.
pankso@38 112 </p>
pankso@38 113 <p>
paul@96 114 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword for the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
pankso@38 115 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
pankso@38 116 </p>

pankso@44 118 <a name="multimedia"></a>
pankso@44 119 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
pankso@44 120 <p>
pankso@44 121 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
paul@45 122 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
paul@45 123 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
paul@45 124 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
paul@96 125 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
paul@94 126 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.
pankso@44 127 </p>
pankso@44 128 <p>
pankso@44 129 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
paul@45 130 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
paul@96 131 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.
pankso@44 132 </p>

pankso@38 135 <h3>System information</h3>
pankso@38 136 <p>
pankso@38 137 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
paul@52 138 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
paul@96 139 buttons offers you more information, and using the benchmarks can
paul@94 140 give you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
paul@40 141 of all your current processes you can use the "Task Manager".
pankso@38 142 </p>

pankso@38 144 <a name="root"></a>
pankso@38 145 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
pankso@38 146 <p>
paul@40 147 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@51 148 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
pankso@38 149 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
paul@96 150 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
pankso@38 151 </p>
pankso@38 152
pankso@44 153 <a name="install"></a>
pankso@38 154 <h3>Installation</h3>
pankso@38 155 <p>
paul@40 156 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
paul@40 157 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@96 158 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 159 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 160 </p>
pankso@38 161 <p>
paul@51 162 To generate a LiveUSB system you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
paul@40 163 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
claudinei@65 164 Handbook: <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>
