NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       oem-config-firstboot [--debug] [--automatic]

DESCRIPTION

       oem-config-firstboot   performs   some   minor   set-up   before   calling  oem-config(8)  (possibly  via
       oem-config-dm(8)) to ask configuration questions of the end user.  It will call oem-config(8) 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 oem-config-firstboot not to be run again.  If
       it fails every time, it will drop to a shell to help the end user fix things up.

       oem-config-firstboot 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,  oem-config-firstboot  will  only  try to run oem-config(8) 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.
