If you ever have the need to run the setup scripts after you're done installing, look in /var/log/setup/.
For example, by running setup.80.make-bootdisk you can make a USB Linux boot stick. Such a boot stick is helpful in some situations, like when you forget to run lilo after updating your linux kernel and the computer won't boot. Of course you can also use the installation media to fix the same issue.
There is important information inside setup.80.make-bootdisk, so make sure to read it. The script will erase the USB stick. You have been warned.
$ less /var/log/setup/setup.80.make-bootdisk
or my favourite
$ most /var/log/setup/setup.80.make-bootdisk
Run them using sudo or root. All of them have prompts, so no changes will be done right away.
Compass.
