65 <h2>Getting started</h2>
67 <a name="network"></a>
68 <h3>Network connections</h3>
69 <p>
70 Click on the "Network Status Monitor" at the bottom right of the screen, then
71 "Configure" and the network manager (netbox) will come up. You can then
72 go to the "DHCP" tab and click "Start", and Slitaz will send a DHCP request
73 to the local router. You may also setup a static IP, PPPoE, PPP, VPN and
74 other networking options by using their respective tabs. To configure a wireless
75 connection, you can use SliTaz wifibox by clicking "Wireless Manager" in the
76 Network Manager or by using the "System Tools" menu entry -> "Wireless networks
77 connections".
78 </p>

80 More detailed information can be found in the Handbook:

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