New page

== Before you start ==
Back up all browser favorites, databases, crontabs, and filesystems!

== Install ==
Pay attention to what's going on with the network connection.

== Backup disk ==
Create /backup directory, then add this line to /etc/fstab:
<pre>
/dev/sdb1 /backup xfs noatime,nodiratime 0 0
</pre>
Mount the /backup partition and create a link to the dirvish backup tree called /restore.

remove the following:
<pre>
apt-get remove indicator-me
</pre>

<pre>
sudo apt-get install apache2 curl dcmtk dirvish gedit-plugins gimp gm-notify hddtemp keepassx medcon
mysql-server php5 python-mysqldb ruby rubygems libruby sensors-applet ubuntu-restricted-extras
</pre>

for Lucid, will need to add gm-notify ppa to repositories:
<pre>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gm-notify-maintainers/ppa
</pre>

== Devices and preferences ==
Work through System -> Preferences and System -> Administration to set up things like:
* Install any restricted drivers (may need to run <code>nvidia-settings</code> to access second monitor)
* Fix resolution/display settings
* Printer (be sure to choose the foomatic/hpijs driver, not the postscript)

== Restore data ==
Restore data to home dir, <code>/var/www</code>, and <code>/etc</code> as necessary. These hidden directories should be restored to the home dir: <code>.ssh</code>, <code>.VirtualBox</code>

== Restore crontabs ==
Including <code>/etc/cron.d/scan</code>
