Well, the main reason why we still have i-s while it's possible to do these setup tasks in Anaconda itself are OEM installations. And I'm pretty sure we don't have many ;-) OEM installations. I talked to vpodzime last week about the possibilities - two features that are still not implemented are for EULA/license and Welcome screen. Historically it was in firstboot as far as I know, is it the right place? I'd say no - Anaconda is the first UI you see and with possibility to finish all steps in one tool, it's non sense. For OEM again - it's different. So I agree with - putting as much functionality into Anaconda - licence, welcome screen, user creation (at least recommend the creation in the installer) and then there would be no reason to run i-s (unless user is not created) and system-wide part of g-i-s. Another reason why I'd prefer this solution are neverending problems with firstboot/i-s theming under KDE. > So, vpodzime, msivak: can we lobotomize initial-setup?
