oem-config-firstboot (8)

NAME

oem-config-firstboot - run oem-config on first boot after shipping to end user

SYNOPSIS

[--debug ] [--automatic ]

DESCRIPTION

performs some minor set-up before calling oem-config8 (possibly via oem-config-dm8) to ask configuration questions of the end user. It will call oem-config8 up to five times until it succeeds (exiting zero). If it succeeds, it will clean up the temporary OEM configuration user created during initial installation, and arrange for not to be run again. If it fails every time, it will drop to a shell to help the end user fix things up.

is suitable for calling from an init script, and is not intended to be run directly by users.

The following options are available:

-d , --debug

Run in debugging mode, sending verbose information to /var/log/oem-config.log that may be useful to developers. Note that passwords will be logged in debugging mode!

In debugging mode, will only try to run oem-config8 once, and will not provide a panic shell on failure.

--automatic

Run in automatic mode, read a preseed file, quietly apply all preseeded values and do not ask any questions for already preseeded answers. If the option automatic-oem-config is set on the kernel command line at boot time, this option is used automatically.
