Indeed, and the problem here at hand concerns especially non-interactive installations. At some point I hacked firstboot initscript to do "run-parts /etc/firstboot.d" but that gets really silly when you're trying to avoid the interactive firstboot step: first re-enable firstboot from kickstart %post to make it run those firstboot.d scripts and then re-disable firstboot from one of those scripts to prevent the interactive firstboot to run. Would be nice if such functionality would be included in the initscripts package, afterall it's just a couple of lines of shell script. I can make a patch if it has any chance of getting accepted? - Panu -
