New Installs

  • Install sudo. Edit /etc/sudoers (using visudo) to allow the sudo group to run all commands without a password:

%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

  • Add user account to sudo group
  • dpkg-reconfigure debconf, set minimum priority to Low
  • dpkg-reconfigure -a, reconfiguring all debconf questions
  • Edit /etc/default/rcS, enabling FSCKFIX, VERBOSE, RAMRUN, RAMLOCK
  • Edit /etc/default/grub, removing "quiet" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
    • Rerun update-grub
  • Edit /etc/default/ntp, changing NTPD_OPTS to '-g -x'
    • This allows the clock to be arbitrarily set once (presumably on startup), without slew delay
  • Clone my home directory from https://github.com/dankamongmen/dankhome.git
  • Set a color for the local machine in .pcolor
    • This is based on the binary bin/color, and hooks to PS1 in .bashrc
  • Install mingetty. Open /etc/inittab and convert 'getty 38400' to 'mingetty'.
  • Remove info and install pinfo
  • FIXME plenty more..
