What to do with a new bike!

Hi all,
Have a new bike arrived fresh out the box. I've done the noddy stuff (checked skewers, brakes, indexing, headset, adjusted seat height). Seems to have a film of lube already on the drivetrain.
What have I forgotten? Do manufacturers usually lube cables etc.. before transport? Should I use some light oil to kick them off?
