"tail" usually wants -n 100 these days instead. If it's a EFI machine,
record those entries with efibootmgr. I rsync /etc/ and user
dotfiles. Try writing a new Sendmail config - from scratch. Note files
that need special permissions to work. The qemu-bridge-helper program
and sead-launch is another one. You already got ipv4 route. ipv6 is
another - it's separate. What else? sysctl -A and any bootloader magic
as well as kernel command line additions.
