47 <h3>Mozilla Firefox - Web Browser</h3>
48 <p>
49 SliTaz is proud to provide Mozilla Firefox, one of the world's best web
50 browsers. It is secure, fast, standards compliant and customizable via a
51 system of <em>plugins</em>.
52 To launch Firefox on SliTaz simply select from the menu --->
53 Internet --> Mozilla Firefox. The web browser configuration files are stored in the hidden
54 (dot) directory <code>~/.mozilla/firefox</code>.
55 </p>
56 <p>
57 Tip: When you combine LiveCD with USB media, you can keep your bookmarks and plugins wherever you go.

60 <a name="retawq"></a>
61 <h3>Retawq - Text mode web browser</h3>
62 <p>
63 All versions of SliTaz provide the text mode web browser Retawq. You
64 can run 'retawq' from the console, a graphical terminal or in X from
65 the menu ---> Internet --> Retawq. To
66 start <code>retawq</code> from a terminal, just type (with or without the url):
67 </p>
68 <pre> $ retawq
69 $ retawq <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a>
70 </pre>
71 <p>
72 The configuration files are in ~/.retawq, you can edit them with a text
73 editor. Pressing <b> will display the bookmarks (bookmarks.html)
74 and the <h> key will display the home page.
75 </p>
77 <a name="links"></a>
78 <h3>Links - Graphical & Text browser</h3>
79 <p>
80 Links was the first graphical web browser on the SliTaz LiveCD, it has since been replaced
81 by Firefox, but Links is always available as a package:
82 </p>
83 <pre> # tazpkg get-install links
84 </pre>
85 <p>
86 Links offers a graphical and a text mode. To use the graphical mode, we can use the option <code>-g</code>:
87 </p>
88 <pre> $ links -g &
89 $ links -g <a href="http://www.slitaz.org/en">http://www.slitaz.org/en</a> &
90 $ links
91 </pre>
92 <p>The configuration files are stored in ~/.links, though it's not advisable
93 to modify them. However, Links provides a configuration interface via
94 the toolbar at the top, where you can configure the languages,
95 bookmarks, etc. When you change options, you must save them via the menu
96 bar --> Configuration --> Save options.

103 files are located in ~/.lostirc. Simply select from the menu -->
104 Internet --> LostIRC. The documentation on the
105 <a href="http://lostirc.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=about">website</a> contains a lot of
106 useful information.

144 can resume interrupted transfers, manage bookmarks (favorites) and FTP
145 or HTTP proxies. In addition
146 gFTP supports the use of drag and drop, can make
147 several transfers at the same time, compares windows, remembers
148 passwords and can even define external applications for viewing or editing
