paul@40 68 <h3>Network connections</h3>
pankso@30 69 <p>
paul@51 70 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then
paul@51 71 "Configure" and the network manager (netbox) will come up. You can then

paul@40 73 to the local router. You may also setup a static IP, PPPoE, PPP, VPN and
paul@96 74 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
paul@97 75 connection, you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
paul@94 76 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks
paul@94 77 connections".

pankso@38 86 <h3>Applications</h3>
pankso@38 87 <p>
paul@97 88 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
paul@97 89 at the bottom left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
paul@40 90 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. And to have
paul@97 91 a list of all installed packages, you can launch the package manager user interface
paul@97 92 from the Lxpanel icon or by using the "System Tools" menu entry. To install any new packages,
pankso@44 93 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
paul@96 94 containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
pankso@44 95 can also be done from the command line and <code>tazpkg</code>.

pankso@38 99 <h3>Office suite</h3>
pankso@38 100 <p>
paul@40 101 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
paul@40 102 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
paul@51 103 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
paul@51 104 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
paul@40 105 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
paul@40 106 enabled.
pankso@38 107 </p>
pankso@38 108 <p>
paul@96 109 To have a lightweight office suite: just use Abiword for the Word processor, Gnumeric as a
pankso@38 110 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
pankso@38 111 </p>
pankso@38 112
pankso@44 113 <a name="multimedia"></a>
pankso@44 114 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
pankso@44 115 <p>
pankso@44 116 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
paul@45 117 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
paul@45 118 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
paul@45 119 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
paul@96 120 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
paul@94 121 check the full documentation and/or use the forum.
pankso@44 122 </p>
pankso@44 123 <p>
pankso@44 124 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
paul@45 125 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
paul@96 126 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>.
pankso@44 127 </p>

pankso@38 130 <h3>System information</h3>
pankso@38 131 <p>
pankso@38 132 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
paul@52 133 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
paul@96 134 buttons offers you more information, and using the benchmarks can
paul@94 135 give you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
paul@97 136 of all your current processes, you can use the "Task Manager".
pankso@38 137 </p>

pankso@38 139 <a name="root"></a>
pankso@38 140 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
pankso@38 141 <p>
paul@40 142 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@51 143 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
pankso@38 144 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
paul@96 145 type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
pankso@38 146 </p>
pankso@38 147
pankso@44 148 <a name="install"></a>
pankso@38 149 <h3>Installation</h3>
pankso@38 150 <p>
paul@40 151 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
paul@40 152 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@96 153 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 154 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 155 </p>
pankso@38 156 <p>
paul@97 157 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
paul@40 158 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
claudinei@65 159 Handbook: <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>
