Firstboot Module
Project Description
Firstboot is the program that runs on the first boot of a Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux system that allows you to configure more things than the installer allows. The firstboot package asks the user specific questions when the system starts for the first time. Since Raspberry Pi systems are installed by copying the SD card, additional questions should be asked during the first boot -- for example, the root password and timezone should be set. This project involves writing and packaging additional modules for firstboot for use with the Raspi (and potentially other ARM systems).
Expected outcome: changes for firstboot committed upstream, or a package that extends firstboot packaged in Fedora.
