Create configurator at the boot time (as grub entry maybe? And then make it default for first boot).
Features:

  • install nvidia / ati drivers
  • WiFi connections
  • more to invent

    cat /proc/cmdline
    

    Add one grub entry with (for example) bootconfig parameter and launch script on boot checking if that parameter exists. If so run configurator.

    What if user updates system? Kernel and initram may be no longer valid.

    /etc/grub.d/40_custom is not as good idea as i though - set root= option is problematic for example...

    Looking for better solution.

    Better approach - like firstboot. Make it system service and create file /bootconfig (delete it after first config).

    It doesn't work - script does not get interactive terminal. Need to rethink the idea...

    Need GUI - like firstboot. But with Qt.

    I'll try something like /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone -- :0 in xbmc.service
