		<title>Backup to hotswap USB disk script - 0.3.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A script to backup a server to a USB-attached hard disk.

<p>Changes:</p>

<p>No changes are required in order to deploy this new version over version 0.2.1 other than to replace the file <kbd>backup-to-hotswap-usb-disk.sh</kbd>.</p>

<ul>
	<li>If the backup disk was already mounted, it would fail to mount again and so the backup wouldn't run. An already mounted backup disk can now be coped with.</li>

	<li>Now saves log in /var/log/hotswap-backup/ rather than /var/log/, otherwise there are far too many log files messing up /var/log/. The new directory /var/log/hotswap-backup/ is automatically created if it doesn't already exist.</li>

	<li>The backup log filenames now include a description of which part of the backup they relate to 'backup-&lt;location&gt;-&lt;time and date&gt;' rather than each being called 'backup-&lt;time and date&gt;'. These are created when files are copied or attempted to be copied. An empty file should mean that the backup was successful. Example log filenames:<br>
<kbd>backup-general-2008-11-12-04-00-02</kbd><br></br>
<kbd>backup-home-2008-11-12-04-00-07</kbd><br></br>
<kbd>backup-etc-2008-11-12-07-30-01</kbd><br></br>
<kbd>backup-usr-2008-11-12-07-30-15</kbd><br></br>
<kbd>backup-var-2008-11-12-08-01-49</kbd></li>

	<li>An additional backup log file called backup-general-&lt;time and date&gt; has been added for issues with mounting media. You now get the specific reason for the mount failure, rather than just 'FATAL: Backup did not run because error mounting media' for all different types of mount failures. Only if the disk isn't already mounted do you get the log file, empty or not; it should be empty if there were no issues.</li>
</ul>

		<title>Samba 3 Server Using Debian 4.0/Etch Guide - 0.9.1 &amp; 0.9.2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Changes:<br></br>

<p>0.9.2 - 4 Oct 2008 - Windows Administration Area's 'chmod g+ws /usr/windows-admin' was wrong as it set group file system permission mode of 'wS' (writable and set group ID) when what we wanted was 'ws' (writable, executable and set group ID). This resulted in people in the samba-domain-admins group not being able to move into the directory /usr/windows-admin. It should have instead been 'chmod g+wxs /usr/windows-admin'.</p>

<p>0.9.1 - 23 Sept 2008 - Windows Administration Area's 'chmod g+ws,o-x /usr/windows-admin' didn't allow WPKG's winuser account access to packages for auto installation so changed to 'chmod g+ws /usr/windows-admin'. To fix an already set directory use 'chmod o+x /usr/windows-admin'.</p>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
<p>A minor release.</p>

<p>Added Driver Configuration option to stop the Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager from loading.</p>

<p>Fixes for stopping Picasa Media Detector, Intel Extreme graphics driver hotkey poller loading and Adobe Reader Speed Launcher.</p>

<p>Other minor changes.</p>


<p>Changelog:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Disable applications' background programs</li>
	<ul>
		<li>Added 'Picasa - disable media detector loading on login' because Picasa's Media Detector is no longer started per-machine but per-user</li>

		<li>Disable Picasa's media detector loading on system startup - mistakenly wrote 'QuickBooks - prevent Update/Delivery Agent loading on startup' in the log</li>
	</ul>

	<li>Driver Configuration</li>
	<ul>
		<li>Added 'Stop Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager loading' (HKLM/Run, RTHDCPL, REG_SZ, RTHDCPL.EXE)</li>

		<li>Stop Intel Extreme graphics driver hotkey poller loading - wasn't working because its registry value 'HotKeysCmds' has changed its name to 'igfxhkcmd'</li>
	</ul>

	<li>Windows configuration - Tighten security on this machine - undo - this was turning on 'Remote Desktop', which is actually off by default in Windows, so I've removed this from the 'undo'</li>

	<li>Adobe (Acrobat) Reader Configuration - disabling Adobe Reader Speed Launch wasn't working because it's now started from the registry (HKLM/Run, REG_SZ, %PROGRAMFILES%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe) rather than Start Menu/Startup, as of some time around version 8.1 I think</li>

	<li>Shortcut and Icon Management - 'Remove future users' TWEAK shortcut suite' and 'Remove this user's TWEAK shortcut suite'</li>
	<ul>
		<li>Added the removal of the CCleaner Start Menu shortcut</li>

		<li>Removed the following that had been left in for backwards compatability with TWEAK < 0.9.0: Start Menu folders audio, accounting, admin, database, disk utilities, drivers, editors and viewers, file utilities, video; Desktop and Quick Launch shortcuts for accounts, audio player, CD writer, Database, drawing, DVD player, FTP, image editor, IRC, page layout, Abiword, CDR Tools Front End, Exact Audio Copy, Photoshop, audio editor, video player, command-line

		<li>Added missing Desktop and Quick Launch shortcuts for Audio editor, Database and FTP</li>
	</ul>
</ul>

<p>New</p>
<ul>
	<li>Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox</li>

	<li>K-Lite Codec Pack 4.10 (Standard) - <a href="http://www.codecguide.com/features_standard.htm">http://www.codecguide.com/features_standard.htm</a> - gives us DVD playback in Windows Media Player (and a host of other media support). Ogg Codec installer has been retained for its FLAC support due to the fact we can't remove it silently.</li>

	<li>CCleaner (Slim) 2.11.636</li>
</ul>


<p>Updated</p>
<ul>
	<li>Adblock Plus 0.7.5.3 &rarr; 0.7.5.5</li>
	<li>Adobe Reader 8.1.2 &rarr; 8.1.2 Security Update 1</li>
	<li>F-Prot 6.0.8.0 &rarr; 6.0.9.1 (fixes many issues)</li>
	<li>FileZilla 3.0.7 &rarr; 3.1.2</li>
	<li>Firefox 2.0.0.14 &rarr; 3.0.1 (major upgrade)</li>
	<li>GIMP 2.4.5 &rarr; 2.4.7</li>
	<li>Irfanview 4.10 &rarr; 4.20</li>
	<li>Irfanview Plugins 4.10 &rarr; 4.20</li>
	<li>MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.12 &rarr; 3.51.26</li>
	<li>Notepad++ 4.8.1 &rarr; 5.0.3</li>
	<li>OpenOffice 2.4.0 &rarr; 2.4.1 (security fix, minor enhancements, and bug fixes)</li>
	<li>Pidgin 2.4.1 &rarr; 2.5.0</li>
	<li>Pidgin OTR 3.1.0-1 &rarr; 3.2.0-1</li>
	<li>Scribus 1.3.3.11 &rarr; 1.3.3.12 (lots of updates)</li>
	<li>Sun Java Runtime Environment 6.0 update 4 &rarr; update 7</li>
	<li>Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 &rarr; 2.0.0.16 (security updates)</li>
	<li>TWEAK - 0.9.0 RC3 &rarr; 0.9.2</li>
	<li>WinSCP 4.0.6 &rarr; 4.1.5</li>
</ul>


<p>Removed</p>

<ul>
	<li>ASpell and ASpell dictionaries (English) - they were for Pidgin, which has included ASpell for all languages since version 2.0.1(?)</li>
</ul>

<p>Changed</p>

<ul>
	<li>Adobe Reader - we spend a massively disproportionate amount of time creating an MSI transform to change the Adobe Reader installation directory so that it doesn't have a version in its path so we can maintain our Adobe Reader shortut in Start - Programs - Office. We're no longer going to do this. We're able to do this for this program in particular and not others because we don't expect people use Adobe Reader by running the program from its shortcut, instead using it from within a web browser or by choosing to load a PDF file directly from within Windows Explorer.</li>

	<li>With RCS 3.1 &amp; 3.2, Thunderbird UK spellcheck dictionary is installed but isn't working as Thunderbird isn't noticing it. We installed MySpell dictionaries in <kbd>%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell\</kbd> which was correct for Thunderbird 1.5 but Thunderbird 2.0 expects them in <kbd>%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Thunderbird\dictionaries</kbd>. We've fixed this and also are now using a MySpell dictionary from Mozilla, version 1.16, rather than version 1.18 from the original author.</li>
</ul>

<p>Miscellaneous</p>

<ul>
	<li>Our new sun Java Runtime Environment WPKG packaging removes all previous versions of JRE rather than leaving them in, fixing a long-standing issue. Because JRE doesn't uninstall prior versions, and it's a large installation, it eats up disk space. This hasn't remotely been a problem yet because we've only shipped a few versions but it would become a problem in time.</li>

	<li>We now set 7-Zip file type associations during workstation installation, using TWEAK</li>

	<li>The Windows Firewall will now allow workstations to answer ping requests, useful in troubleshooting</li>

	<li>Changed the location of sub-group directories on the server, creating 'restricted' - see Samba guide version 0.9.0 or later</li>
</ul>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
<p>Disabled Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop.</p>

<p>Fixed GIMP shortcut causing GIMP to have error messages on startup when installed alongside some system-wide-installed versions of GTK+ such as that come with some versions of Pidgin.</p>

<p>Added CCleaner shortcut management.</p>


<p>Changelog:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Windows Configuration - Tighten security on this machine</li>
	<ul>
		<li>Added Remote Desktop setting to allow / disallow users to connect remotely to this computer (<kbd>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fDenyTSConnections = 00000000 REG_DWORD</kbd>)</li>

		<li>Added Remote Assistance setting to allow / disallow Remote Assistance invitations to be sent from this computer... (<kbd>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\fAllowToGetHelp = 00000001 REG_DWORD</kbd>)</li>

		<li>Added Remote Assistance setting to enable / disable Terminal Services (<kbd>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\AllowTSConnections = 00000001 REG_DWORD</kbd>)</li>
	</ul>

	<li>Shortcut Management</li>
	<ul>
		<li>Remove various programs' shortcuts so we can use our replacement suite - added CCleaner</li>

		<li>Shortcut suite</li>
		<ul>
			<li>GIMP shortcuts hadn't been updated for GIMP 2.4 series. The shortcuts' 'Start in' was set to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin" resulting in GIMP using system-wide GTK+ rather than its own copy of GTK+ which caused errors on startup when some specific versions of GTK+ were installed system-wide (that should have been binary compatible) such as that come with Pidgin 2.4.x and 2.5.0; and resulting in GIMP offering this particular directory as the default for users to save their files in rather than My Documents. The GIMP installer now creates '%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures' but this doesn't work for those who've changed My Documents' location. TWEAK now uses '%HOMEDRIVE%\images'.</li>

			<li>Added CCleaner to Start Menu - Programs - Accessories</li>

			<li>Changed NotePad++'s 'Start In' from '"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Notepad++"' to "%APPDATA%\Notepad++"</li>

			<li>Changed 7-zip's Start Menu shortcut from using 'C:\Program Files' to '%PROGRAMFILES%'</li>

			<li>Changed Infra Recorder's Start Menu shortcut from using 'C:\Program Files' to '%PROGRAMFILES%'</li>
		</ul>
	</ul>

		<title>Samba 3 Server Using Debian 4.0/Etch Guide - 0.9.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Changes:<br></br>
		<ul>
	<li>changed location of restricted sub-group from /home/&lt;ORGANISATION&gt;/&lt;sub-group&gt; to /home/&lt;ORGANISATION&gt;/restricted/&lt;sub-group&gt;. Added (commented out) corresponding smb.conf [restricted] share. Added (commented out) corresponding NETLOGON.BAT R: for \\SERVER\restricted. This scales better, when you have a number of groups, instead of a drive letter for each we now have R: for them all.</li>

	<li>Commented out smb.conf's [programs] because we don't use it; added 'force create mode = 0664' and 'force directory mode = 2774'; in Unix set 2774 on /usr/windows-programs rather than 2775</li>

	<li>Removed execute permission for others on /usr/windows-admin</li>

	<li>Make a directory for cloning workstations to at /usr/windows-admin/images</li>

	<li>Added creation of winuser account for testing purposes</li>

	<li>smb.conf version 0.7.0, see smb.conf section</li>

	<li>NETLOGON.BAT version 1.0.0, see Windows Logon script section</li>

	<li>smb.conf section mistakenly said Samba configuration file was /etc/smb.conf rather than /etc/samba/smb.conf (what a massive gaff that was!)</li>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
<p>TWEAK 0.9.0 is a major new version. Significant changes to all of TWEAK enhance its capabilities and update it for current versions of software applications and with Windows (2000 and XP, not Vista).</p>

<p>Configuration of these new applications has been added: Firefox, Thunderbird, Enigmail, Adobe Flash Player, Eraser.</p>

<p>Support for these applications has been removed: Pegasus Mail, F-Prot, Real Player, Nero Burning ROM, NoteTab, Zinf.</p>

<p>The Desktop, Start Menu and Quick Launch shortcut suite has been completely overhauled, including removing some programs' shortcuts and adding others.</p>

<p>Existing users, beware that if you used the options in previous versions of TWEAK supporting multiple partitions (C: for Windows, D: for Programs, E: for Temp and F: for data), TWEAK now instead assumes that C: and D:'s uses have been combined (resulting in C: for Windows and Programs, D: for Temp and E: for data).</p>

<p>See the <a href="tweak-changelog.html">changelog</a> for the complete and detailed list of all changes.</p>

<p>This release has been extensively tested and refined over the last two years, having been used to deploy our <a href="http://thegoldenear.org/rcs/windows/">Roaming Computing System</a> versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 in various organisations.</p>

<p>Changes since Release Candidate 7:</p>
<ul>
	<li>IrfanView Configuration - fixed external viewer / editor setting pointing to GIMP 2.2 binary when it should point to GIMP 2.4 binary ('ExternalViewer=C:\Program Files\gimp\bin\gimp-2.4.exe')</li>

	<li>Adobe Reader Configuration - Adobe Reader 8.x per-user preferences - re-labeled to say it applies 8.x not 8.0.x</li>

	<li>OpenOffice Configuration - re-labeled to say it applies to up to version 2.4.1</li>
</ul>]]></description>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.0 Release Candidate 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Changes since Release Candidate 6:<br></br>
<ul>
	<li>Updated documentation</li>

	<li>File Type Associateions - 7-Zip - changed file where icons are gotten from from 7zFM.exe to 7z.dll</li>

	<li>Shortcut Management - added Scribus 1.3.3.12, 1.3.3.13 and 1.3.3.14 shortcut removal</li>

	<li>Shortcut Management - added removal of per-user pidgin-otr shortcut, perhaps version 2.4.2 or 2.4.3 changed from per-machine shortcuts</li>

	<li>Shortcut Management - restored GTK+ shortcut removal because it turns out Pidgin installs a machine-wide GTK+ rather than a Pidgin-specific Gtk+</li>

	<li>Shortcut Management - removed Start Menu\Accessories\Select GTK+ language shortcut as it doesn't seem to be used by Gtk+ any more</li>

	<li>Shortcut Management - added removal of 'Gtk+ Theme Selector' shortcut</li>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.0 Release Candidate 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Changes since Release Candidate 5:<br></br>
<ul>
<li>Java Configuration - since 0.9.0 RC1 option 'A' wasn't actually run when chosen; option 'B' actually ran what option 'A' was supposed to do, but option 'BU' ran what 'AU' should have been. Option A was completely removed by mistake. In RCS documentation this was actually OK because it said to use option B. I've now swapped them around so they're in chronological order.</li>

<li>Firefox Configuration - 'Backup all Firefox profiles; delete originals; create 1 new profile' - firefox profile creation now works - using -CreateProfile <profile name> not -Profile <path>. Previously it wasn't created until you next ran Firefox. Not sure if the syntax changed or I always had it wrong.</li>

<li>Shortcut Management - Removed Adobe Reader Start Menu / Programs / Office shortcut. Because of the hassle of transforming Adobe Reader's MSI for every update we're now not bothering to change its install directory so that it doesn't have a version number in it and instead removing this shortcut, which people are extremely unlikely to use.</li>

<li>Windows Configuration - Replace boot loader - Removed 'NT4' from 'Windows NT4/2000/XP'</li>
</ul>]]></description>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.0 Release Candidate 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Changes since Release Candidate 3:<br></br>
<ul>
	<li>Application Configuration - alphabetised the menu list</li>

<li>Firefox Configuration</li>

<ul>
	<li>Added 'Uninstall Firefox 3.0.x'</li>

	<li>Created updated configuration option for Firefox 3, using additional config file (firefox-custom.js is now firefox2-custom.js and firefox3-custom.js). The following are changed compared with the Firefox 2 configuration:</li>

	<ul>
		<li>Changed 'allow scripts to: Disable or replace context menus' from false to true. With the current web, where richer web-based applications exist, people will expect this functionality if a web site they use uses it.</li>

		<li>Removed commented out 'Accept images that come from the originating server only' (network.image.imageBehavior)</li>

		<li>Removed 'allow scripts to: raise or lower windows - off' (pref("dom.disable_window_flip", true);) - it's now on by default</li>

		<li>Removed 'Display on &rarr; New Window - Blank page' (pref("browser.windows.loadOnNewWindow", 0);) - it no longer exists or works</li>

		<li>Removed 'display on &rarr; New Tab - Blank page' (pref("browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab", 0);) - it no longer exists or works</li>

		<li>Removed 'allow scripts to: Create or change cookies - on' (pref("dom.disable_cookie_set", false);) - it no longer exists. Not much mention of it on the web.</li>

		<li>Removed 'allow scripts to: Read cookies - on' (pref("dom.disable_cookie_get", false);) - it no longer exists. Not much mention of it on the web.</li>
	</ul>

	<li>Removed various 'disable updates' options from 'Configure global preferences - various' where it had been mistakenly left in. The original intention was for these settings to only be installed with the seperate option 'Configure global preferences - disable automatic updates'.</li>

</ul>
</ul>]]></description>

		<title>Twix - Debian desktop, server &amp; RCS setup script - 0.3.6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Changes:
		<ul>
			<li>Server System Software Installation - Database server (MySQL) - no longer sets the MySQL password for you because it was mistakenly adding an actual password of ''$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD''</li>

			<li>Roaming Computing System (Windows Edition) 3.0 - 3.2 Configuration - When you add a new user it no longer prompts to add them to the shared organisation group. You now need to additionally use 'Add a user to a group' for that. This is because it isn't a given that you want each user to have access to the shared drive.</li>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.0 Beta 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		<ul>
			<li>OpenOffice Configuration - added the following:
			<ul>
				<li>'Backup this user's OpenOffice 2 profile essentials (user dictionary)', as it says it's just the user dictionary but if there's anything else worth backing up in particular I'll add it here</li>
				<li>'Backup this user's OpenOffice 2 profile (to Application Data dir.)'</li>
				<li>'Delete this user's OpenOffice 2 profile'</li>
			</ul>
			</li>
			<li>Removed Mozilla Configuration. It's the end-of-an-era deleting this, the end of code I invested a lot of time in, that was once one of the most important features of the program, but that era's long over and it's now merely cruft to be thrown out. The Firefox Configuration is based on this, though far simpler because Mozilla had a lot of defaults that needed chnaging where as Firefox's defaults are a lot saner.</li>

		<title>Twix - Debian configuration - 0.3.3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
		<ul>
		<li>Server Software - OpenSSH server - split into 'ssh' (which is both the SSH client and
		the SSH server, for Debian Sarge) and openssh-server (which is just the SSH server, for
		Debian Etch)</li>

		<li>Server Software - Web server - split into Apache and Apache2 options</li>

		<li>Server Software - Mail Server - Configure mail server - the admin user 
		provider_admin@localhost may not work because it appears to be coming from 
		provider_admin@localhost.localdomain (or whatever your local domain is) (you get the 
		error "localhost postfix/trivial-rewrite[11346]: warning: connect to mysql server 
		127.0.0.1: Host 'localhost.localdomain' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL 
		server". So an account is now created for provider_admin@localhost.localdomain. If 
		your domain is named differently this won't help you. (In Debian Etch MySQL 5 will 
		understand that these two host entries are identical.</li>

		<li>Server Software - Mail Server - Configure mail server - said it was going to set the 
		'mynetworks' option Postfix's main.cf from '127.0.0.0/8' to '127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8' 
		but was actually wrongly setting it to '127.0.0.1/8, 10.0.0.0/8'. It's not until you 
		come to upgrade to Debian Etch that you notice this because I don't believe the 
		127.0.0.0/1 is used (rather the 10.0.0.0) and Debian Sarge's Postfix doesn't complain 
		where-as Debian Etch's Postfix refuses to run, saying "fatal: non-null host address 
		bits in "127.0.0.1/8", perhaps you should use "127.0.0.0/8" instead."</li>

		<title>TWEAK - Windows configuration - 0.9.0 Beta 6</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
	<ul>
	<li>OpenOffice Configuration - Configure %USERNAME%'s OpenOffice: pre-complete the start wizard (both OpenOffice and MS Office versions) -
	Removed 'ooSetupInstCompleted' - 'true' from the user's pre-configuration as it caused OpenOffice 2.3.0 (not 2.2.0) to complain about missing script.xlc, script.xli, dialog.xlc and dialogs.xli on initial run then subsequently dialog.xlc and dialogs.xli, claiming &quot;BASIC input/output error&quot;</li>

	<li>Windows Configuration - Various individual Windows configuration settings - added 'Don't require pressing 
	Ctrl+Alt+Del to login' 
	(it's already in the main Windows Configuration section but useful on its own because it re-appears after 
	joining a machine to a domain)</li>

	<li>Windows Configuration - Various individual Windows configuration settings - removed 'Show hidden files and 
	folders' (because I've never used it from within TWEAK, always from Windows itself)</li>

	<li>Windows Configuration - Various individual Windows configuration settings - removed 'Show protected 
	operating system files' (because I've never used it from within TWEAK, always from Windows itself)</li>

	<li>IrfanView Configuration - swapped to the vastly improved toolbar skin (using 'Skin=Gorsberg_24.png')
	(why doesn't Irfan enable this by default?)</li>

	<li>IrfanView Configuration - fixed wrongly specified external viewer / editor program 
	('ExternalViewer=D:\programs\GIMP\bin\gimp.exe' to 'ExternalViewer=C:\Program Files\gimp\bin\gimp-2.2.exe'.
	Sadly IrfanView won't accept 'ExternalViewer=%PROGRAMFILES%\gimp\bin\gimp-2.2.exe' and sadly GIMP has a
