2002-07-03 3.10.00 This documentation describes &kde;'s information centre. KDE kinfocenter system information module The &infocenter; (from now on referred to simply as the information centre) provides you with a centralised and convenient overview of your &kde; and system settings. The information centre is made up of multiple modules. Each module is a separate application, but the information centre organises all of these programs into a convenient location. This next section details the use of the information centre itself. For information on individual modules, please see Info Centre Modules The &infocenter; can be started 3 ways: By selecting K ButtonSystemInfo Centre from the &kde; Panel. By pressing &Alt;F2. This will bring up a dialogue box. Type kinfocenter, and click Run or press Enter. You can type kinfocenter & at any command prompt. All three of these methods are equivalent, and produce the same result. When you start the information centre, you are presented with a window, which can be divided into 3 functional parts. Across the top is a menubar. The menubar will provide you with quick access to most of &infocenter;'s features. The menus are detailed in The &kde; Info Centre Menus. Along the left hand side, is a column. This is a where you choose which module to investigate. You can learn how to navigate through the modules in the section called Navigating Modules. The main panel shows you some system information. This next section gives you a brief description of what each menu item does. The File menu has a single entry. &Ctrl;Q File Quit Closes the info centre. &help.menu.documentation; You can exit the info centre one of three ways: Select File Quit from the menu bar. Type &Ctrl;Q on the keyboard. Click on the Close button on the frame surrounding the info centre. This is a list of the standard configuration modules (sorted by category) provided by the &kde; base package. Please note that there may be many more modules on your system if you have installed additional software.
