43 <h3>Clex - Command line File Manager</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
44 <p>
|
|
paul@68
|
45 To navigate through your folders and directories you can use <code>cd</code> on the command line or
|
|
paul@68
|
46 launch the 'Clex File Manager'. Using ncurses, clex is fast and easy to use and can be configured through
|
|
paul@68
|
47 the files ~/.clexrc and ~/.clexbm (bookmarks) or via the panel (ctrl -g). To start clex from a terminal or
|
|
paul@68
|
48 console:

55 <h3>emelFM2 - File Manager</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
56 <p>
|
|
paul@68
|
57 EmelFM2 is a file manager providing many useful functions for daily tasks such as managing devices, opening
|
|
paul@128
|
58 a terminal in the current directory, drag and drop, creating directories, key bindings or managing file
|
|
paul@68
|
59 permissions. It contains bookmarks to allow you to browse faster, a text editor/viewer and much more.
|
|
paul@128
|
60 EmelFM2 can be launched with some command line options - you can specify the dustbin directory or set the
|
|
paul@68
|
61 start directory to display. For a full list of options:
|
|
paul@63
|
62 <code>$ emelfm2 --help</code>.
|
|
paul@63
|
63 </p>
|
|
paul@63
|
64 <p>
|
|
paul@68
|
65 The context menu (right click on file/directory) makes it easy to unpack <code>.taz .gz</code> archives,
|
|
paul@68
|
66 compress and create archives or compare files. You can also create symbolic links via 'Create a link...'.
|
|
MikeDSmith25@117
|
67 Once learned, emelFM2 will allow you to work quickly and effectively.

71 <h3>Htop - View system processes</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
72 <p>
|
|
paul@68
|
73 Htop is a system process viewer that displays cpu load, memory state (RAM) and swap used. It can also
|
|
paul@68
|
74 display the number of tasks, uptime and PIDs of active processes. Htop can be used with the keyboard in
|
|
paul@160
|
75 console mode, the mouse with a X terminal (xterm) and provides configuration options (F2). Htop can also
|
|
paul@68
|
76 kill processes and you can select items with the up/down arrows or a mouse click. Note htop also functions
|
|
paul@68
|
77 via SSH and can be used to monitor a remote server:

84 <h3>Mountbox - Mount devices</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
85 <p>
|
|
paul@63
|
86 Mountbox is a small GTK+ application to quickly mount media
|
|
paul@68
|
87 such as a USB drive, hard drive or cdrom. Mountbox can be launched from a terminal or via the Tools menu
|
|
paul@68
|
88 (System Tools). Simply specify the peripheral (Device) and the mount point, ie the directory where you want
|
|
paul@68
|
89 to access the media in question. Typically a CD is mounted on /media/cdrom, a USB key on /media/flash and
|
|
paul@68
|
90 disk drives on the local machine on /mnt. Note the <a href="system-admin.html#devices">handbook</a> also
|
|
paul@68
|
91 contains some information.

95 <h3>Gparted - Partition a hard drive</h3>
|
|
paul@63
|
96 <p>
|
|
paul@63
|
97 Gparted is a graphical application making it possible to manage the partitions of a local hard drive or USB media.
|
|
paul@68
|
98 It allows you to reformat, resize or check a partition on a hard drive and is the tool of choice if you need
|
|
paul@68
|
99 to prepare a partition to install SliTaz. Gparted supports proper GNU/Linux filesystems (ext2 and ext3)
|
|
paul@160
|
100 via mkfs, and Parted automatically handles dependancies.

103 <h4>Support FAT and NTFS filesystems</h4>
|
|
paul@63
|
104 <p>
|
|
paul@68
|
105 To have the support of FAT16 or Windows FAT32 filesystems, you must install the package
|
|
paul@129
|
106 <code>dosfstools</code>. To enable read/write support for NTFS partitions, you need to install: <code>fuse</code>,
|
|
paul@136
|
107 <code>ntfs-3g</code> and <code>ntfsprogs</code>.
