That's a clean install. root partition is reformated and dot files are removed from home folder.
Some of the tweaks (not mentioned in previos installation manuals)

If Google earth is installed as root sudo chown -R username:username command should be executed on the .googleearth and .config/Google folders.

Vmware server do not see usb disk connected:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=3862823
To do this while the host is running, execute the following command as root:
sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb You need to power cycle the virtual machines after the mount command to have access to available USB devices.
To configure the host to mount USBFS automatically on bootup, add the following line in the /etc/fstab file:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0
Phone (Nokia 6300) and PocketPC2003 sync:
sudo apt-get install gnokii gnokii-smsd multisync0.90 opensync-plugin-evolution opensync-plugin-google-calendar : The following NEW packages will be installed: dialog gnokii gnokii-cli gnokii-common gnokii-smsd libgnokii3 libical0 libopensync0 libpcsclite1 multisync0.90 opensync-plugin-evolution opensync-plugin-google-calendar python-4suite-xml python-httplib2 xgnokii
to set up:
GNOKII: http://graemehunter.co.uk/2007/05/linking-your-nokia-6300-mobile-phone-to-ubuntu/
sudo cp /etc/gnokiirc /etc/gnokiirc.OLD
sudo vi /etc/gnokiirc
And you will get a very well commented config file. If you are using a different phone, or connecting through another means such as Bluetooth, have a read through the file, there are good pointers for the changes you need to make. For the Nokia 6630, delete the contents (you’ve already backed it up) and use the following:
[global]
port = /dev/ttyACM0
model = AT
initlength = default
connection = serial
use_locking = yes
serial_baudrate = 19200
smsc_timeout = 10
[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/
[connect_script]
TELEPHONE = 12345678
[disconnect_script]
[logging]
debug = off
rlpdebug = off
xdebug = off
now un multisync0.90:

serial
/dev/ttyACM0
AT

all connects fine, but can't sync. The most important part for me - no access to calendar neither in multisync nor in xgnokii

f-secure 5.54.7091
installed OK. Kernel driver build failed. Current release of dazuko required:
a) --disable-local-dpath to be added to /opt/f-secure-fsav/bin/fsav-compile-drivers in the dazuko kernel compliation part - DONE
b) error: capabilities are built-in to the kernel: you will need to recompile a kernel with capabilities as a kernel module - NOT DONE
