This is an incomplete list of things I did when setting up nettle.

See /etc/CHANGES on nettle for config changes done there.

Copied /home/fog from sage.

Set up Unicode (see file Unicode).

Installed Thunderbird.

Installed Java 1.5.

Installed Firefox

Installed Firefox plugins:
Java
MozPlugger
RealPlayer

Installed acroread (renamed /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api to PPKLite.api.save to suppress error message about it not loading).  Couldn't get 7.0.1 to work within firefox - installed 7.0 instead (copied from sage /usr/local/downloads) and eventually got working.  I'm apparently not using the acroread plugin nppdf.so, but instead using the mozplugger plugin to call acroread. Presumably I never got nppdf.so to work with either version of acroread.

Set up printing (see CUPS).

Installed OpenOffice 2.0

Removed gimp & gimp-print packages, and installed latest stable versions of gimp & gutenprint. See file PhotoPrinting.

Set up SSH keys for connecting to sage. See SSH.

Installed unison for synchronizing files with sage. See file Unison.

Set up to use CVS repository on sage. Done simply by setting environment variables (CVS*) in .bash_profile.

Switched to latest system for handling PCMCIA/PCCard. See file PCMCIA.

Set up DNS server. See file DNS.

Arranged for all mail to anyone at nettle to be forwarded to sage:
Added file /etc/procmailrc consisting of lines:
:0
! $USER@sage
Edited sendmail configuration:
cd /usr/share/sendmail/cf/cf
cp sendmail-slackware.mc sendmail.mc
vim sendmail.mc
Change procmail flags on line 32 from '-t -Y -a $h -d $u' to
'-t -Y -m USER=$u /etc/procmailrc'
m4 sendmail.mc >sendmail.cf
cp sendmail.cf /etc/mail
/etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail restart

Edited root crontab to not redirect output to /dev/null. Any output should then get emailed to root. Although crontab was only redirecting stdout, 'run-parts' re-directs stderr to stdout, so error output was also getting lost. See Crontab.
