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.
