How-to manage network connections. If you didn't set up your network settings during Slint installation, first become root by typing 'su' (without quotes) either in a console or in graphical terminal like mate-terminal, then type the root password. Setup of the network is done by the 'netsetup' script. So you would just type the command 'netsetup' (without the quotes) in that same terminal, where you've just aquired root privileges. You will be first asked for the hostname of your machine. you can choose any name, but mind that it has to be a single word. Then you are asked the domain name. If the machine is not a server you can choose anyone. After that you will be asked how your machine connects to the network. Unless you have a good reason not to (and you know what you are doing), keep the default 'NetworkManager' to automatically configure the network. For wired connections, that should be enough to be connected on next boot automatically. To configure a wireless connection, two commands are available using the command line. Again, you can type the commands directly on the console or in a graphical terminal like mate-terminal. Type them as regular user not as root. If you followed these instructions and became root already, you would just type 'exit' (again without quotes) to "return" to the regular user. The two mentioned commands are nmtui (dialog boxes) or nmcli (pure command line), both are accessible. If you prefer working on the command line, make sure to read the nmcli documentation first. Just type 'nmcli --help' and 'man nmcli' (without quotes) to find out all the details. While nmcli offers more possibilities, in most use-cases the funtionality of nmtui will be sufficient for setting up your wireless network, so we will describe it here: Using nmtui, you can navigate with the Tab and arrow keys. You will be proposed three options: - Edit a connection - Activate a connection - Set system hostname If no wireless connection has been set yet choose "Activate a connection". Starting from top to bottom, first the wired connections (if any) will be proposed, after that all accessible wireless networks will be listed. Navigate with the down and up arrow keys to select the network you want, then just type Enter: you will probably be asked for the password or encryption key. Type it, use the Tab key to confirm, then exit and you are done. In graphical mode only, instead of nmcli or nmtui you can use the application nm-connection-editor.
