Copy the CDs onto the hard disk, add them to fstab as loopbacks, and make them 
URPMI sources. Your update source should probably be iiNet.

Fetch and install NVidia's proprietary drivers to get faster display and 
working 3D.

Add Texstar, PLF and a few others as URPMI sources (via 
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/ or there is a page on http://plf.zarb.org/ 
somewhere with pushbutton scripts for doing this), fetch and install Keramik 
and the missing kdeartwork, set all of the users to use Keramik theme and 
switch on the fancy doodads like translucent menus. It looks much cooler. The 
missing artwork includes a decent screensaver collection, or you could use 
xscreensaver instead.
