change debian.ourmanpann.com to ourmanpann.com for visible mail name
answer 'none' or 'n' until you get to the smarthost question

don't erase the downloaded .deb files (we're gonna do apt-move later)

# apt-get install rcs

tailor /etc/apt/sources.list (add security updates)

# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade

OK, reboot this puppy one time to make sure we didn't crunch something.

# apt-get install gpm less vim vim-rt

Try the defaults for gpm:

# apt-get install lynx mime-support urlview mutt fetchmail procmail

copy .procmailrc, .procmail/ from /Compaq/home/pann/

mutt and fetchmail work more or less (need configuration tuning)

lynx works (fixed colors)
