Re: OEM Installation mode

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next
Not any application in particular, but after installing on OEM mode (when you boot the liveCD press any key to change language, then select language and press F4 to select installation modes, where OEM installation is available) there should be an option to set-up for end user, which is not present, that option should allow the final user of the computer to create its user accounts, set up keyboard and language. This is useful for those who might want to install Luna in a computer that will be used by another person, like a brand new one.
Attached 2 images, the first one (screen1.png) shows the OEM install option. the second one (screen2.png) shows the "prepare for shipping to end user" option in Xubuntu 12.04 which is missing on Luna. 

That option is missing, and setting up

What application(s) do you expect? We probably removed them to save space. Maybe we can make room to return them to the ISO. However, space is quite scarce at the moment.

    Hello team!

        I did what Fabian suggested and installed on a virtual machine
    successfully, pressing F4 and selecting OEM mode.
        However, after rebooting I ran into a very important problem,
    there is no way to set up the system for end user, there is no
    icon in the desktop nor a menu entry (and I don't remember if
    there is a terminal way to do that). I would like to fix this,
    however, I don't know how.

    Hey Alex,

    I'm not 100% sure but as we use the same installer as Ubuntu does
    this might actually already work without us knowing, it would be
    great if you could test such an installation out on one of our
    recent daily builds(which you can find here:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/elementaryos/files/unstable/)

    Thanks for pointing us in this direction, have a nice day ;)

        Hello Team!

            I would like to know if Elementary OS Luna will include
        an OEM installation mode like Ubuntu, to allow install the OS
        for a future user to configure.

            I sometimes rebuild computers and sell them with Ubuntu,
        but I would like to switch to Luna once it is released, but
        for this an OEM install mode is crucial.

            Is it going to be available? Is it going to be able to
        install applications for the end-user?

            will it include codecs?

           Thanks in advance!
