CiviCRM installation process

Install drupal 7 (currently 7.15)

Install drush 5.7

Install civicrm 4.2.0

Add localisation, to allow for English (UK) language:
Be in /var/local/civicrm/drupal/sites/all/modules

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/civicrm/civicrm-stable/4.2.0/civicrm-4.2.0-l10n.tar.gz

Log in as the site administrator account, then use the configuration checklist within the CiviCRM module.
Disable CiviMail, CiviMember, CiviEvent and CiviCampaign.

Create drupal user accounts for each member of staff, then use the contact editor to add details

Change date and time representations to UK format using Administer >> Localization >> Date Formats

Turn off 'post code suffix' in Administer >> Localization >> Address settings - this still leaves 'post code suffix' as a prompt / help text, but never mind.

Default preferred language for contacts is still 'English (US)' - how do we change that?
