Hi,

I want to preinstall Gentoo Linux on some devices for customers. Do
you have any tips for preinstallation, any scripts? What is the
correct prcedure of doing so?
Anyone knows of something like a "sysprep" script for linux that will
ask the costumer for user  and passwort setup when he first switches
on the PC?

On the technical side what I am currently doing is taking a normal
setup, cleaning up distfiles, /usr/src, /tmp, /home, creating a new
usser without any files of my own ;)
cleaning out all my passwords of /etc.
partimageing the partition, and dd'ing grub and sfdisking the partition table.
Then playing back the images on the HDs I want to put into the devices later.

Regards,
Stefan
