 ===Installing Other Packages===
+After an apt-get update, it is time to download other required packages. They are listed below.
+[http://packages.debian.org/etch/knemo knemo] - for network monitoring.
+[http://packages.debian.org/etch/adept adept] - A lovely gui for apt. It helps in searching related packages other than the main namesake.
+cupsys, cups-pdf, cupsys-client, cupsys-common, cupsys drivers, printconf.
+[http://packages.debian.org/etch/icedove Icedove]  - a fork of Thunderbird.
+'''sudo apt-get install knemo adept icedove'''
+For installing CUPS printing support, run
+'''sudo apt-get install cupsys cups-pdf  cupsys-client cupsys-common cupsys-driver-gimpprint cupsys-driver-gutenprint cupsys-pt printconf'''
+Iceweasel and Icedove use default .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders in the user directory, so restoring backups from Firefox and Thunderbird is simply a copy and paste of the entire folders.
+Cups-pdf is a utility to add a system wide pdf printer. To setup printers, enter localhost:631 as the url in a browser. The pdf printer is added by selecting 'Virtual Printer PDF' from the initial list. In the drivers list, select 'Raw Printer' and go ahead. By default, cups-pdf creates a folder called PDF in the home directory. It can be changed by editing the file /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf.
