Welcome
to the Mepis Assistant Series of Guides. These 4 Guides go through the
Tools Unique to Mepis Linux, which offer simplified steps to completing
certain tasks in a Linux Enviroment.
The Mepis User tools simplify the normally arduous process of adding accounts, deleting accounts, and managing permissions and default configuration files. The User-Tools also cover the Synchronizing panel for OnTheGo users.

2: Mouse over System

11: And onthego will appear in Copy to:
12: To get to the add tab, just give it a Left Click.
Adding new users is covered in an existing guide. The bug listed there has been fixed.
13: A Left Click to the tab of Delete and we can remove older usernames on the system.
14: To select an account to delete, simply left click on the down arrow.
This is covered further in an existing guide.
Take me back to the Guides.
