... Exit,Editor,Control,Appliances, ...

I think that should be Apps or Applications which is what you use to install web browsers, music players, spreadsheet programs, or
whatever else you need.
The Tinycore book is a very fast and informative read and well worth your time. It can be found by clicking Welcome at the top of
the forum page then Book at the top of the website page.

Edit: First thing to do is set up your internet connection, then you can use the web browser, (& the 'Apps' program to install any other programs you want).
