If you don't have wired networking configured, fw_update(1) won't be able to fetch firmware on first boot, in that case it needs to be run manually.
The timezone and a default user can be created during installation, however yes, it is perfectly acceptable to expect that a user is capable of reading documentation.
- vacri 12y agoIt is not perfectly acceptable to claim "just works" if the user has to read documentation. It violates the definition of "just works" if you have to crack open the docs.
- girvo 12y agoOkay then, with that definition no operating system I've ever used has "just worked". Hmm. I was trying to be snarky there, but now that I think about it, it might not be so far off the mark...
- vacri 12y agoYes, any task you have to read documenation for is, pretty much by definition, not a "just works" task. Of course, 'using' an operating system has so many aspects to it that your point is pretty nonsensical. In any case, we were talking about installing the OS, not using it. That said, there are several OSes out there that have plenty of users who never read the docs for using it. Android, iOS, OSX, and Windows all have teeming masses of people who are able to use them adequately without reading documentation (just ask someone who's worked a support desk).
