64 From spring 2011 the new way (and tool) to configure the system is TazPanel.
|
pankso@102
|
65 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
|
paul@107
|
66 can control your entire system, this includes package management, adding or
|
paul@104
|
67 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides
|
paul@104
|
68 a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the
|
al@153
|
69 panel you can use the menu entry in “System Tools” or this URL:

|

|
paul@155
|
75 While some actions in the panel are available to the user, others require
|
al@153
|
76 administrator rights. On the right side of the TazPanel menu you can find
|
al@153
|
77 an icon, prompting the current operating mode:

|

|
83 <p>
|
paul@155

84 Please point the mouse cursor over the icon to show more information; then click the icon

126 Tazpanel provides

Christian@112
|
127 a nice GUI for package management through the
|
Christian@112
|
128 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi">Packages</a> tab. To retrieve a list of all
|
Christian@112

129 installed packages, open Tazpanel and navigate to the

130 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi?list">My Packages</a> page.

|
al@153
|
132 <p>
|
al@153
|
133 To install new
|
Christian@112
|
134 packages, you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or a USB storage
|
Christian@112
|
135 device containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
|
Christian@112
|
136 can also be done from the command line using <code>tazpkg</code>.

|
137 </p>
|
al@153

139 Another option to query the packages database online is to use

paul@155
|
140 <a href="http://pkgs.slitaz.org/">pkgs.slitaz.org</a> in a graphical web browser
|
al@153
|
141 on any of your devices. You can see screenshots of applications and even install
|
paul@155
|
142 or remove a package if the site is opened in SliTaz.

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

Christian@113

151 manager in Tazpanel. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful

al@153
|
152 LibreOffice suite: just search for “LibreOffice” in the packages manager, click
|
al@153
|
153 on “get-LibreOffice”, and click Install (to install and remove packages you

154 need administrator privileges).

171 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound

paul@45
|
172 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
|
paul@45
|
173 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
|
paul@96
|
174 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please

191 By default, SliTaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
|
paul@51
|
192 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
|
al@153
|
193 Therefore, it is safer and more secure.
|
al@153
|
194 </p>
|
al@153
|
195 <p>
|
al@153
|
196 To become root in an xterm, simply type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
|
al@153
|
197 To run a graphical application as root, use <code>subox</code>.
|
al@153
|
198 For example, to run leafpad as root you would run <code>subox leafpad</code>.
