That's why I always thoroughly log all stuff installed by hand, along with
extra configuration steps taken with RPM-installed items, and make sure the
log's someplace where the next person can find it. In our case we maintain
wikis for this sort of thing. It would be nice if there were a standard for
where such notes should be left on the systems themselves. Not aware that
there is one, though.
