A manual alternative to piwiz? #21

Closed seamusdemora closed 3 years ago

seamusdemora commented 3 years ago

I'd like for my RPi Desktop system to start the same way my RPi Lite system starts: without human intervention. I wonder if this could be changed to check for the presence of a "configuration file", and use the values in that file in lieu of prompting the user to supply them? The end objective is simply to allow an RPi Desktop system to start without human input. I suppose this could be looked at as being similar to an enhanced wpa_supplicant.conf file.

I've learned that the Raspberry Pi Imager apparently takes care of my "issue", and allows one to bypass piwiz to boot on first run without human intervention.
