Tasks

Hostname

Depending how you got to this stage, the hostname might need fixing. To do this, simply edit (as superuser) the file /etc/hostname to the correct value.

          # vi /etc/hostname
        

Files

load basic files from backup. These should include:

          ~/.bash_profile
          ~/.bashrc
          ~/bin/*
          ~/lib/emacs
          ~/.emacs
        

SSH

Emacs

Install my preferred editor Emacs

          # apt-get install emacs
