Sure - those require to run int the reconfig mode, where Initial Setup
provides access to all the screens it can run on a booted machine.

I was just wondering if the Live media use case, where Initial Setup
only creates a user account if none is created at installation time
makes sense & could be perhaps replaced by Anaconda just requiring
users to create a user at installation time on the Live images.

That could reduce the overall complexity a bit. :)
