BaseSystemConfiguration

Revision 1 as of 2005-10-31 18:12:31

Clear message

Summary

The Ubuntu Express Installer needs to configure the base system, to create a user and set a password. The ubuntu-installer already contains code to configure the base system, which we can reuse; in particular, OEMInstaller specifies a new firstboot component which can reconfigure just some parts of an installed system. The requirements of this component are very similar, so they should share code.

Rationale

Possible things this component has to do:

1. Create User/Password. 2. Possibly get language/i18n/timezone out of debconf (see UbuntuExpress/CopyFileSystem)

Use cases

1. Users want to have their own username and password. 2. Users want the system in their language.
