     <title>Description</title>

     <para><command>systemd-firstboot</command> initializes the most
     basic system settings interactively on the first boot, or
     optionally non-interactively when a system image is created.
     The service is started if <varname>ConditionFirstBoot=yes</varname>
     is satisfied. This essentially means that <filename>/etc</filename>
     is empty, see
     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
     for details.</para>

     <para>The following settings may be set up:</para>

     <itemizedlist>
       <listitem><para>The system locale, more specifically the two
       locale variables <varname>LANG=</varname> and
       <varname>LC_MESSAGES</varname></para></listitem>

       <listitem><para>The system keyboard map</para></listitem>

       <listitem><para>The system time zone</para></listitem>

       <listitem><para>The system hostname</para></listitem>

       <listitem><para>The machine ID of the system</para></listitem>

       <listitem><para>The root user's password</para></listitem>
     </itemizedlist>

     <para>Each of the fields may either be queried interactively by
     users, set non-interactively on the tool's command line, or be
     copied from a host system that is used to set up the system
     image.</para>

     <para>If a setting is already initialized, it will not be
     overwritten and the user will not be prompted for the
     setting.</para>

     <para>Note that this tool operates directly on the file system and
     does not involve any running system services, unlike
     <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>localectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
     or
     <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
     This allows <command>systemd-firstboot</command> to operate on
     mounted but not booted disk images and in early boot. It is not
     recommended to use <command>systemd-firstboot</command> on the
     running system while it is up.</para>
