GNOME Initial Setup is a tool to set an Out-of-Box Experience so that the initial user can set their user details themselves.

## Installation

Install the gnome-initial-setup package.

## Configuration

First enable GDM. Initial Setup uses GDM to run. Ensure that the system has no user accounts. GDM will detect the absence of users on boot and launch `gnome-initial-setup`.
