<h1>Required packages not included as default</h1>

<ul>
	<li>csh (For running MIDAS scripts)</li>
	<li>xinetd (Runs the rdate server for the FEEs)</li>
	<li>Telnet (Communication with the FEEs)</li>
	<li>dhcp</li>
</ul>

<h1>Configuration changes</h1>

<ul>
	<li>FEEs uses NFS2 which is no longer enabled by default
	<ul>
		<li>Must edit config in /etc/nfs.conf to uncomment the following lines:
		<ul>
			<li>[nfsd]</li>
			<li>vers2=y</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>/etc/xinetd.d/time-stream must be edited by uncommenting
	<ul>
		<li>
		<p>disable&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;= no</p>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Many services such as xinetd and dhcp will not automatically start at startup following a restart of the system</p>

<ul>
		<li>
		<p>To enable this must enter `systemctl enable dhcpd` or `systemctl enable xinetd`</p>
		</li>
		<li>
		<p>Likewise can check status with `systemctl status $SERVICE_NAME`</p>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>Also need to check the firewall status of the ethernet port connected to the FEEs.</p>

<ul>
		<li>
		<p>Easiest solution is to set the port to be trusted</p>
		</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
</ul>

<h1>Optional extras</h1>

<ul>
	<li>For top bar icons similar to SL6 can use the gnome extension &quot;Frippery panel favorites&quot;
	<ul>
		<li>Then just need to create desktop icons for each of the startup scripts within /usr/share/applications - Attachment 1</li>
		<li>Can also add screenshot to this - Attachment 2</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>Gnome tweaks also allows the number of workspaces to be changed</li>
	<li>Also recommend setting workspaces to span displays</li>
</ul>
