(sorry, my previous message was sent without being completed)

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.

Yes, the old OEM installation from the DVD is not used any more, however 
it can be enabled pressing F4 on the liveCD

The OEM install is, in my opinion, very important, it's handy when you 
perform an install for somebody else but you don't want to create an 
user account for it, just like a brand new computer, you install this 
way, select "prepare for..." and shutdown the computer, ship it to who 
is going to use it and when he/she turns on the computer, the initial 
set up will be shown. See the rest of images which displays what happens 
next after you select the option "prepare for..."

After that process the user is taken to the login page so he/she can use 
the account just created.
