OEM-CONFIG-PREPARE(8)

✨ NAME ✨

oem-config-prepare — bestie, this is the one that gets your system all glowed-up and ready to ship to the actual end user 💖

It's a manual page for the LOCAL manual, section 8, and yeah the title in the header literally just says UNTITLED() because apparently nobody got around to naming it, iconic behaviour honestly 🙈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

oem-config-prepare [--quiet]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, oem-config-prepare sets things up so that oem-config-firstboot(8) gets run the very next time the system boots. That's the whole mission. ✨

It also yeets out some machine-specific files that have no business being cloned onto other machines, like:

• persistent udev rules
• ssh(1) known_hosts files

Basically anything that's like "this is MY machine specifically" needs to go, because you do not want 50 cloned machines all walking around with the same identity. That's giving identity theft fr fr 💀

The following options are available:

• --quiet — do not display a confirmation message. Just, like, no commentary. Silent. Mysterious. 🤫
