Hi,
I wonder, I thought that the server images are usually using Anaconda to
create a user during installation. Am I missing something?
No, I think you're right there. initial-setup is not part of the
anaconda-deployed Server package set. anaconda - as it does for all
other spins/editions except Workstation - requires you to create a root
password or admin user, so you can always log in.
I think if initial-setup was included in the package set, it would run
on boot if you didn't *both* set the root password *and* create a user
(as it does on spins where it is installed, e.g. KDE), but it isn't.
I tested this with a Server DVD image I had lying around; doing an
install with only root password (no user created) didn't run initial-
setup on boot, and rpm shows initial-setup not installed.
However, as dgilmore noted, the Server ARM disk images certainly do
rely on initial-setup.
Best Regards,
Jirka
