2014-07-07firstboot: add new component to query basic system settings on first boot, ↵Lennart Poettering
or when creating OS images offline A new tool "systemd-firstboot" can be used either interactively on boot, where it will query basic locale, timezone, hostname, root password information and set it. Or it can be used non-interactively from the command line when prepareing disk images for booting. When used non-inertactively the tool can either copy settings from the host, or take settings on the command line. $ systemd-firstboot --root=/path/to/my/new/root --copy-locale --copy-root-password --hostname=waldi The tool will be automatically invoked (interactively) now on first boot if /etc is found unpopulated. This also creates the infrastructure for generators to be notified via an environment variable whether they are running on the first boot, or not.
