For those who want to get started quickly, here is the Quick Start Guide
The siduction operating system manual is a reference for getting to know the system as well as for refreshing your knowledge of the system. It not only provides basic knowledge, but also covers complex topics and supports the work as an administrator of siduction systems.
It is divided into similar topics: Everything concerning partitioning, for example, is in the "Installation/Partitioning" chapter, and topics concerning WiFi are in the "Network" chapter.
The current manual is delivered with the ISOs. Since changes are made to the manual on an ongoing basis, it is worth taking a look at the online version from time to time.
Printing manual pages:
Linux commands can be more than 120 characters long. In order to optimize the display on a screen, automatic line breaks are not applied. Our manual in PDF format, on the other hand, contains line breaks for the long commands. The PDF manual is available on all ISOs and on the system after installation.
To print manual pages, please use the PDF and print only the pages you need.
To get help for a specific pre-installed or self-installed application program (also called a package), it is best to consult the FAQs, online manuals or forums on the home page, or the application's help menu.
Almost all application programs offer assistance by means of an associated "Manual-Page" (short manpage). It can be called in the terminal using the command man <package_name>. You can also check for documentation in the /usr/share/doc/<packagename> directory.
