Initial Setup

Initial setup for Liri OS.

Introduction

The first time a freshly installed system is booted is a special situation. There is no user account yet and a few basic configuration steps need to be performed before it can be considered fully usable.

The initial setup mode is an attempt to solve these problems for the following kind of systems:

• Device and mobile images
• Test disk images

OS copies installed by the installer won't need the initial setup mode because users will configure whatever they need during the installation.

This application will offers a series of steps to:

1. Select your language
2. Connect to the network
3. Create a new user account
4. Set the right location and timezone

In terms of user experience, we want the initial setup to seamlessly switch to the regular user session. In particular, we don't want to make the user enter his credentials again on the login screen.
