+ <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 host name</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>
