[ubuntu-uk] OEM Setup was Ubuntu via Tescos

[Ian Pascoe]

Hey, I like this more and more!

Just so that I've got it straight in my mind ....

A.  Install Ubuntu on computer
B.  Set up computer with various apps and configs as required
C.  Issue appropriate command before shutdown
D.  Next boot up, new user goes through standard installation process

Yeah?  I presume that any user that was set up for B gets deleted by the
command issued in C?

E

I've used it in Feisty. When you're finished with the temporary user
account, you issue an oem-config-prepare command as root and shut the
machine down. The next boot takes you (ie. the end user) through a
config wizard to create a user, set the timezone etc.

Tom
