+## <a name="First_steps_after_Install_"> First steps after Install. </a>
+
+So you have managed to get past the first ./native-install runs in single-user mode?
+
+Time to get to work.
+
+### <a name="_Hurd_GetNetworkRunning_Setup_ne"> </a> [[Hurd/GetNetworkRunning]]
+
+Check if your NIC was detected by GNU Mach:
+
+    # devprobe eth0
+
+_devprobe_ (run as user _root_) will print _eth0_ on successful detection. If it doesn't, your NIC was not detected correctly. You can then try to do the following (also as user _root_) for getting details:
+
+    # cat /dev/klog > ~/klog
+    [Wait a second, then press `Ctrl-C'.]
+
+Now examine the _~/klog_ file.
+
+If the NIC was detected:
+
+    # settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -i eth0 -a 192.168.1.3 -g 192.168.1.1 -m 255.255.255.0
+
+### <a name="Setup_grub"> Setup grub </a>
+
+You surely want grub to have a nice menu entry able to boot GNU, instead of typing a boring arcane. There are Debian-specific scripts that may help you. See the [[GrubNotes]] for this.
+
+### <a name="Setup_apt_get"> Setup apt-get </a>
+
+Sometimes getting apt-get to work is not straightforward. Good mirrors to put in `/etc/apt/sources.list` are (as of Jan 2007):
+
+    deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib
+    deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian unstable main contrib
+    deb http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian unreleased main
+    deb-src http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian unreleased main
+
+apt-get update a couple of times if some file fails to download.
+
+If when doing your first apt-get, dpkg complains of missing programs, [try to cheat it this way](http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/1999/05/msg00187.html):
+
+    # ln -s /sbin/ldconfig /bin/ldconfig
+    # ln -s /bin/true /bin/update-rc.d
+    # ln -s /bin/true /bin/start-stop-daemon
+    # ln -s /bin/true /bin/install-info
+    # ln -s /bin/true /bin/update-alternatives
+
+Installing packages without having a network connection is described [[Distrib/DebianAptOffline]].
+
+### <a name="_Hurd_RandomDevice_Setup_random_"> </a> [[Hurd/RandomDevice]]
+
+You often need scp and ssh. Sadly the Debian GNU/Hurd does not come with any default random package installed. See [[Hurd/RandomDevice]] for details, the following is just a quick recap.
+
+    cd && mkdir tmp && cd tmp
+    wget http://kilobug.free.fr/hurd/random-64.tar.gz
+    tar xvfz random-64.tar.gz
+    cp random /hurd/
+
+    settrans -c /dev/random /hurd/random \
+               --seed-file /var/run/random-seed --secure
+    settrans -c /dev/urandom /hurd/random \
+               --seed-file /var/run/urandom-seed --fast
+    chmod 0644 /dev/random /dev/urandom
+
+    apt-get install ssh
+
+### <a name="_Hurd_HurdConsole_Setup_Virtual_"> </a> [[Hurd/HurdConsole]]
+
+The latest Hurd package in Debian, plus the /native-install script, creates all necessary device nodes and other magic. You just need to edit /etc/default/hurd-console to tune the parameters and tell it to start at bootup.
+
+You can also call the Hurd console manually with the proper arguments:
+
+    console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=kbd -d pc_mouse --repeat=mouse \
+            -d generic_speaker -c /dev/vcs
+
+    cd /dev
+    ln -s cons/kbd .
+    ln -s cons/mouse .
+
+### <a name="_Hurd_DebianXorg_Setup_X_Window_"> </a> [[Hurd/DebianXorg]]
+
+You first must have setup the virtual console. See above.
+
+Assuming you've installed WindowMaker and have tried running startx already:
+
+    [/etc/X11/XF86Config-4]
+
+    Section "Module"
+    #        Load           "dri"
+    #        Load           "speedo"
+             .
+             .
+             .
+    EndSection
+
+    Section "InputDevice"
+            Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
+            Driver          "mouse"
+            Option          "CorePointer"
+            Option          "Device"                "/dev/mouse"
+            Option          "Protocol"              "osmouse"
+    EndSection
+
+Make sure not to have the "Emulate3Buttons" and "ZAxisMapping" settings set, as they lead to problems with e.g. dragging windows around.
+
+    [/etc/profile]

+### <a name="What_about_package_XYZ_"> </a> What about package XYZ?
+
+See if you can find a useful tip in [[PackageTroubleshooting]].
+
+-- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]] - 17 Apr 2005
+
+How about making an afterinstall man page � la !OpenBSD afterboot man page? Anyone could easily convert the current text into an afterinstall.8 page. If nobody else feels up to it I could do it.
