If Ok please take this with the ha-ha humour it is intended: Once long ago every new install/user interaction went into anaconda until it was too unwieldy. Lots of people wanted more stuff but it wasn't getting added. Then someone came up with the bright idea of something like firstboot and lots of things went into first boot (over the howling screams of people who only wanted anaconda.) Then after a while firstboot got overloaded, and now nothing new gets added to it. [Exaggerating for effect.] So I propose 'first-user' so that when a user first logs in various things that are user related can be done then :). It can even have links to .ogg videos on how to use things. Back to serious tone. I do believe that KDE or maybe Mandrake's version of KDE had something like this... I found it quite helpful on figuring out how to use the unfamiliar thing. -- Stephen J Smoogen. Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp.
