Updating documentation

I'm currently in the process of updating documentation. You can access it by clicking at the "Documentation" link at the top menu here. I've divided the documentation into several sections, which should assure easier navigation.

The most interesting part (for the end user) is the "Using Slax" section, which lists most of the interesting commands in Slax, presented in arranged tables. I'm sure you'll find at least one useful tool or command you were not aware about in Slax yet :)

Next task is to provide documentation for both using and creating Slax modules.

I'm really impressed of how much you have archived in such a short time. Big up Tomas! I would also like to say that the new website looks awesome and you can find what you are searching for very fast :)

Tomas, what about porting Lua programming language to next release? It needs gnu readline, here in Slax7, nothing more.

1/ --- "cdparanoya" ?

not cdparanoia ?

2/ I don't know about iptraf, iftop and I know a bit netwatch :D

I don't know about it because I am not interested in console apps when it comes to monitoring.
If I was aware about console apps in monitoring then this one will be known by me.

3/ So I can dare to say that I know ALL of the other apps.

I've been reading the "internals"

Sounds like poetry to me. I mean, good for imagination.
I am glad and thankful for the fact that dedicated people like TOMAS M. give us the chance of having SLAX.
There are things that doesn't work or could be best? Yes, but that is why TM should live forever and ever.
Keep going!
By the way. WIFI is not working well. Cannot connect to hotspots through WIFI. Am I the only one?
Seems like some keyboards are not recognized which make typing a kind of an Odyssey.
Finally, good news.
Have you tried to instal a software - in this case an excellent one - as easy as YS FLIGHT ?
(http://ysflight.in.coocan.jp/software/e.html )

No need for commands, nor modules/sb files, etc.
Just let ARK do it.
This post is a bit long, I know, but let me leave a word of merit to "Captain YS" (in fact, Soji Yamakawa), another hero as TM, a man that is challenging the standards.
Thanks to all the people involved and dedicated to these projects. Money will never pay it.
Expecting SLAX 8.0? Yes please!
