syspert how-to
1) starting-up

Congratulations on downloading syspert, this walkthrough is the first in many to help you use syspert for the novice and beginner.

First off, to launch syspert ether type "syspert" at the command line as root (if you run as a normal user you will be denied access and root will be informed) or type "/opt/syspert/bin/syspert" and you will be presented with the main screen, that basically displays the copyright notices and a warning that the program must be run in full screen, and an input request (press enter) (as shown in the screenshot labelled "Syspert start screen"

After you pass said "start screen" you will presented with syspert's main screen which displays the four menus: usrmgmt for user account management
diskmgmt for disk management
sysmgmt for system management
and softmgmt for software mangement
