Since my initial install was 8 years ago, I don't remember for

For later on, once you're back working again:
Next time you do an install, leave some notes in the /root homespace
about what you've done. I think the installation routine leaves a
couple of files about the install in there, itself. And I write some
post installation notes about any extra packages I add.
Since I only use root for installing stuff, there's only three files in
there, and they can't get messed with during normal logins (e.g. they
can't get accidentally deleted).
