-It turned out to be not too difficult, as I already had all the correct working configs from the last time I used Allstar, so I was able to copy them onto the new SD card image and have a working node straight from boot up!

 I SSH'd in via the DHCP address it had been given, and to change the IP to a static one I checked the peculiar name of the Ethernet interface: ''enxb827eb6f9954'' and edited ''/etc/dhcpcd.conf'' to use a static IP address on this device. Using ''eth0'' didn't work, as the interface wasn't called ''eth0''

 Reboot again, and now I can SSH via the correct static IP address
-Next Steps
+==== Next Steps ====
-  * Add my own user (don't want to use the built in ''repeater'' user
+  * Add my own user (don't want to use the built in ''repeater'' user)
   * Add myself to the necessary groups (sudo etc.)
+  * change the hostname from ''repeater'' -> ''asterisk''
+    * remember to edit ''/etc/hosts'' as well as ''/etc/hostname''
+  * set timezone to ''Europe/London''
   * Check the RX/TX levels/deviation with ''/usr/sbin/simpleusb-tune-menu '' - the levels were spot on due to using the same setup, and the same config. files as the previous incarnation.
   * Enable Echolink by editing ''/etc/asterisk/modules.conf'' to load the Echolink Module (last time I'd disabled it)
   * Copy any necessary ''allmon2'' files to ''/var/www/html/allmon2/''  & set up ''allmon2''
   * Port Forward on router:
-    * UDP/4569
+    * ''UDP/4569''
-    * UDP/5198
+    * ''UDP/5198''
-    * UDP/5199
+    * ''UDP/5199''
   * All working...!
+==== First QSO ====
+ * I was called on Echolink by ''G0RAS'' while I was out walking the dogs. We had a good chat, so that was a good test that it's all working
