Not something to do with firstboot or initial-setup?  I seem to recall
that if you dropped a dot prefixed filename into the root directory,
it'd be read at boot time, and go through the firstboot setup routine.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
