Prior to exposing your system to the world, there are some files you must address first. This checklist serves as a guide in making sure you have hit on all the files and areas of code necessary to make sure the end user has a functional UI and the system is healthy enough to take logons. For questions on individual files mentioned below, refer to "The System Messages" for explanation on their function and suggestion of use.

Presets You Will Want to Address 

The following area areas you will want to be sure to customize first:
* In +SETUP:
Main Parameters
Message Categories
** Upload/Download Folders
* In BBS:
SYSOP account #2 – change details. Currently set as User: SYSOP Password: SYSOP
If you plan to use the email notifications feature, load √BBS.INIT and modify:
* Line 35705: your IP and port, and then replace “username” with your selected username for the python script
* Line 35706: Replace “password” with your selected password for the python script
* The python script text is included on this SD build as “notify.py” for at least my linux friends! Copy this file from your SD card and pop on your computer.
Note to modify username, password, smtp server, and smtp server password in the script. Username and password should match what you did with lines 35705 & 35706.
* Refer [[email notification|Email Notification Option]] for more information
Modify SEQ files as needed:
* √sayings# (where # is 1-6) if you want customized sayings at user logon (just before the command prompt is displayed). Otherwise, you can delete the files.
**** The number of sayings can be modified in √BBS.OV3 at line 170.
:::: 170 i=int(rnd(1)6)+1
::::Change the "6" to the desired number of sayings you are planning to have.
:: √sysopin and √sysopout screens
::* √welcome screens 1-2
::* √systemstart and √systemstart2
::* √information
::* √level # msg (where “#” is 1-9) – optional screens; delete if unwanted.
::* √member list msg – displayed when someone queries the membership list, notifying them they may not be listed yet
::* √membership full
::* √menu# (where # is 1-9) – Kaleidoscope is perfect for these!
::* √new user msg1 and √new user msg2
::* √no mail – displayed at logon if user has no private messages
::* √po menu – post office menu
::* √sysop not here and √still not here
::* √sysop news (optional)
::* √upload message
::* √chat enter and √chat exit
::* On AUX3, √games menu should be modified to what you want listed for games. You will also want to edit the √bbs.games file starting at line 36200 for the commands and file processing to load up the games. If left alone, all games should be ready to run though they may need their respective SETUP files if one is there in the directory to create their respective REL files.
