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

89 <h3>Applications</h3>
90 <p>
91 To have a list of all graphical applications you can use the SliTaz menu button
92 at the bottom left of the screen. To have a list of command line tools, you
93 can open a terminal and double press on the tabulation button. And to have
94 a list of all installed packages you can launch the package manager user interface
95 from the Lxpanel icon or by using the "System Tools" menu entry. To install any new packages
96 you must have a network connection, the DVD of packages or an USB storage device
97 with downloaded packages. Naturally any package management
98 can also be done from the command line and <code>tazpkg</code>.
99 </p>
101 <a name="office"></a>
102 <h3>Office suite</h3>
103 <p>
104 The SliTaz packages database provides some lightweight office applications.
105 All of these packages are easily installable in a few clicks through the packages
106 manager. SliTaz also provides a simple way to install the powerful
107 OpenOffice suite: just search for "OpenOffice" in the packages manager, double click
108 on "get-OpenOffice3" and install the script with the <code>Auto exec</code> option
109 enabled.
110 </p>
111 <p>
112 To have a lightweight office suite; use: Abiword as Word processor, Gnumeric as
113 Spreadsheet and Homebank for Bank Accounting.
114 </p>
116 <a name="multimedia"></a>
117 <h3>Multimedia</h3>
118 <p>
119 Most SliTaz flavors include a wide range of sound card drivers, a volume
120 mixer and a light audio player to easily listen to any MP3 or OGG files. The Sound
121 card is autodetected at boot time and audio support works out-of-the-box
122 on many systems. If you manually add a new user and can't listen to audio, please
123 check that the user belongs to the <code>audio</code> group. For any other trouble please
124 look into the full documentation and/or use the forum.
125 </p>
126 <p>
127 Videos can be watched by installing one single package or using a dedicated
128 LiveCD or LiveUSB system. The SliTaz team have packaged some of the best video players
129 available under GNU/Linux: <code>mplayer</code>, <code>xine-ui</code> and <code>vlc</code>
130 </p>
132 <a name="info"></a>
133 <h3>System information</h3>
134 <p>
135 You can get information on your system by clicking on "System information"
136 in the System Tools menu, then "Summary". Clicking on the other
137 buttons brings you more information, and using the benchmarks
138 gives you an idea on how fast your computer is. To have a list and control
139 of all your current processes you can use the "Task Manager".
140 </p>
142 <a name="root"></a>
143 <h3>Becoming Root</h3>
144 <p>
145 By default, Slitaz doesn't have its desktop running as root administrator:
146 it asks for a root password (default <code>root</code>) for any superuser work.
147 Therefore, it is safer and more secure. To become root in an xterm, simply
148 type <code>su</code>, and enter the root password.
149 </p>
151 <a name="install"></a>
152 <h3>Installation</h3>
153 <p>
154 SliTaz can be installed to a hard disk or on an USB mass storage device using the
155 "SliTaz Installer" from the "System Tools" menu. The installer makes a full HD install.
156 SliTaz won't work in memory (RAM) anymore like in Live or Frugal mode and
157 everything is persistent.
158 </p>
159 <p>
160 To generate a LiveUSB system you can use the "Tazusb LiveUSB Tool" from the "System Tools"
161 menu or <code>tazusb</code> from the command line. More information can be found in the SliTaz
162 Handbook: <a href="http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:liveusb">LiveUSB media</a>
