al@137 63 <h3 id="tazpanel">SliTaz Panel</h3>
pankso@102 64 <p>
paul@104 65 From spring 2011 the new way (and tool) to configure the system is TazPanel.
pankso@102 66 It is a CGI/web interface with a themable user interface from where you
paul@107 67 can control your entire system, this includes package management, adding or
paul@104 68 removing users, creating Live systems and much more. Each page provides
paul@104 69 a small description to help you manage your SliTaz system. To access the
al@153 70 panel you can use the menu entry in “System Tools” or this URL:
pankso@102 71 </p>
pankso@102 72 <p>
pankso@102 73 <a href="http://tazpanel:82">http://tazpanel:82</a>
pankso@102 74 </p>
al@153 75 <p>
paul@155 76 While some actions in the panel are available to the user, others require
al@153 77 administrator rights. On the right side of the TazPanel menu you can find
al@153 78 an icon, prompting the current operating mode:
al@153 79 </p>
al@153 80 <ul>
al@153 81 <li><span style="color:#859900"></span> for user mode;</li>
al@153 82 <li><span style="color:#cb4b16"></span> for administration mode.</li>
al@153 83 </ul>
al@153 84 <p>
paul@155 85 Please point the mouse cursor over the icon to show more information; then click the icon
paul@155 86 to log into TazPanel as a different user or as root administrator.

al@137 90
al@137 91 <h3 id="network">Network connections</h3>
al@137 92
pankso@38 93 <p>
al@153 94 Open Tazpanel and click the “Network” →
al@153 95 “<a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi">Summary</a>” menu entry.
al@153 96 This shows a basic overview of your networking interfaces and their states.
al@153 97 </p>
al@153 98 <p>
al@153 99 To configure your Ethernet device, click the “Network” →
al@153 100 “<a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi?eth">Ethernet</a>”.
paul@155 101 From here you can configure (with administrator privileges) your device
al@153 102 to use DHCP or a static address.
al@153 103 </p>
al@153 104 <p>
al@153 105 To configure Wireless devices, click the “Network” →
al@153 106 “<a href="http://tazpanel:82/network.cgi?wifi">Wireless</a>”.
paul@155 107 Here you can select a network to connect to (with administrator privileges).
al@153 108 When you click on the desired network, the Connection box underneath will be
al@153 109 appropriately filled in.
al@153 110 Next, enter your passphrase or leave the field blank for none.
al@153 111 Finally, click the Configure button to apply settings.
al@153 112 </p>
al@153 113 <p>
al@153 114 More detailed information can be found in the Handbook:

al@137 119 <h3 id="apps">Applications</h3>
al@137 120
pankso@38 121 <p>
paul@97 122 To have a list of all graphical applications, you can use the SliTaz menu button
pascal@150 123 at the top left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
al@153 124 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button.
al@153 125 </p>
al@153 126 <p>
al@153 127 Tazpanel provides
Christian@112 128 a nice GUI for package management through the
Christian@112 129 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi">Packages</a> tab. To retrieve a list of all
Christian@112 130 installed packages, open Tazpanel and navigate to the
al@153 131 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/pkgs.cgi?list">My Packages</a> page.
al@153 132 </p>
al@153 133 <p>
al@153 134 To install new
Christian@112 135 packages, you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or a USB storage
Christian@112 136 device containing any downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
Christian@112 137 can also be done from the command line using <code>tazpkg</code>.
pankso@38 138 </p>
al@153 139 <p>
paul@155 140 Another option to query the packages database online is to use
paul@155 141 <a href="http://pkgs.slitaz.org/">pkgs.slitaz.org</a> in a graphical web browser
al@153 142 on any of your devices. You can see screenshots of applications and even install
paul@155 143 or remove a package if the site is opened in SliTaz.

al@137 148
pankso@38 149 <p>
Christian@113 150 The SliTaz packages database provides a variety of lightweight office applications.
paul@40 151 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
Christian@113 152 manager in Tazpanel. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
al@153 153 LibreOffice suite: just search for “LibreOffice” in the packages manager, click
al@153 154 on “get-LibreOffice”, and click Install (to install and remove packages you
paul@155 155 need administrator privileges).
pankso@38 156 </p>
pankso@38 157 <p>
pascal@152 158 To have a lightweight office suite: just use
pascal@152 159 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=abiword">Abiword</a>
pascal@152 160 as the Word processor,
pascal@152 161 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=gnumeric">Gnumeric</a>
paul@155 162 as a spreadsheet and
pascal@152 163 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=homebank">Homebank</a>
pascal@152 164 for Bank Accounting.

al@137 168 <h3 id="multimedia">Multimedia</h3>
al@137 169
pankso@44 170 <p>
pankso@44 171 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
paul@45 172 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
paul@45 173 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
paul@45 174 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
paul@96 175 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble, please
pascal@150 176 check the full documentation and/or use the <a href="http://forum.slitaz.org/">forum</a>.

pascal@150 179 Videos using common HTML5 codecs such as WEBM or MPEG4 can be watched out-of-the-box.
pascal@150 180 Other videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
paul@45 181 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
pascal@151 182 available under GNU/Linux:
al@153 183 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=mplayer">MPlayer</a>,
al@153 184 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=xine-ui">Xine-UI</a> and
al@153 185 <a href="http://127.0.0.1:82/user/pkgs.cgi?info=vlc">VLC</a>.

al@137 189 <h3 id="root">Becoming Root</h3>
al@137 190
pankso@38 191 <p>
al@149 192 By default, SliTaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
paul@51 193 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
al@153 194 Therefore, it is safer and more secure.
al@153 195 </p>
al@153 196 <p>
al@153 197 To become root in an xterm, simply type <code>su</code> and enter the root password.
al@153 198 To run a graphical application as root, use <code>subox</code>.
al@153 199 For example, to run leafpad as root you would run <code>subox leafpad</code>.

al@137 203 <h3 id="install">Installation</h3>
al@137 204
pankso@38 205 <p>
paul@40 206 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
al@153 207 <a href="http://tazpanel:82/installer.cgi">SliTaz Installer</a> in Tazpanel.
al@153 208 The installer makes a full HD install.
paul@96 209 SliTaz won't function in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
paul@41 210 everything is persistent.
pankso@38 211 </p>
pankso@38 212 <p>
al@153 213 To generate a LiveUSB system, you can use the “Tazusb LiveUSB Tool” from
al@153 214 the “System Tools” menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More
pankso@141 215 information can be found in the SliTaz Handbook:
al@153 216 <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>.
