    6.48 +and ~/.clexbm (bookmarks) or via the panel (ctrl -g). To start clex from a terminal or console:
    6.49 +</p>

    6.55 +<h3>emelFM2 - File Manager</h3>
    6.56 +<p>
    6.57 +EmelFM2 is a file manager providing many useful functions for daily tasks such as managing devices, opening a terminal in the current directory, drag and drop, create/rename directories, key bindings or managing file permissions. It contains bookmarks to allow you to browse faster, a text editor/viewer and much more.
    6.58 +EmelFM2 can be launched with some command line options - you can  specify the dustbin directory or set the start directory to display. For a full list of options:
    6.59 +<code>$ emelfm2 --help</code>.
    6.60 +</p>
    6.61 +<p>
    6.62 +The context menu (right click on file/directory) makes it easy to unpack <code>.taz .gz</code> archives, compress and create archives or compare files. You can also create symbolic links via 'Create a link...'. Once learnt, emelFM2 will allow you to work quickly and effectively.

    6.68 +Htop is a system process viewer that displays cpu load, memory state (RAM) and swap used. It can also display the number of tasks, uptime and PIDs of active processes. Htop can be used with the keyboard in console mode, the mouse with a X terminal (xterm) and provides configuration options (F2). Htop can also kill processes and you can select items with the up/down arrows or a mouse click. Note htop also functions via SSH and can be used to monitor a remote server:
    6.69 +</p>

    6.76 +<p>
    6.77 +Mountbox is a small GTK+ application to quickly mount media
    6.78 +such as a USB drive, hard drive or cdrom. Mountbox can be launched from a terminal or via the Tools menu (System Tools). Simply specify the peripheral (Device) and the mount point, ie the directory where you want to access the media in question. Typically a CD is mounted on /media/cdrom, a USB key on /media/flash and disk drives on the local machine on /mnt. Note the <a href="system-admin.html#devices">handbook</a> also contains some information.

    6.82 +<h3>Gparted - Partition a hard drive</h3>
    6.83 +<p>
    6.84 +Gparted is a graphical application making it possible to manage the partitions of a local hard drive or USB media.
    6.85 +It allows you to reformat, resize or check a partition on a hard drive and is the tool of choice if you need to prepare a partition to install SliTaz. Gparted supports proper GNU/Linux filesystems (ext2 and ext3) via mkfs and Parted automatically handles dependancies.

    6.87 +
    6.88 +<h4>Support FAT and NTFS filesystems</h4>
    6.89 +<p>
    6.90 +To have the support of FAT16 or Windows FAT32 filesystems, you must install the package  <code>dosfstools</code>. To support NTFS read/write you need to install: <code>fuse</code>, <code>ntfs-3g</code> and <code>ntfprogs</code>.
