Joe is absolutely right, but I need to add one thing to it.
PATIENCE!!!
It will take a while to do an alignment. Between getting the strings just right, checking the measurements, rolling the car, rechecking to make sure the strings are right, etc, it can be trying. But, if you just relax, take good notes, and work through it, the alignment will be perfect and you'll actually not have to fight the car down the straights.
I'm patience challenged at points, but this year I finally did what I consider a good alignment. Setting the toe took ~3 hours, but at the track, I could take my hands off the wheel down the straight and not worry about heading toward the wall! It made for a much more relaxing experience.
My winter project is a platform for alignements. Sure, they sell them, but I can't really afford $2000...
