Thanks  a lot for taking the time to answer. I realized reading your answer
that gnome-initial-setup is the user's initial setup.... So you're right, I
want firstboot not to show up when booting...

Unfortunately none of the above works... "systemctl disable
firstboot-graphical" or "chkconfig firstboot-graphical off" does not work.
Strangely removing the file /lib/systemd/system/firstboot-graphical.service
does not work either. I still have the firstboot that shows up when
starting the system...

Reading the python script at /usr/sbin/firstboot I learned that a file
(/etc/sysconfig/firstboot) containing a line with RUN_FIRSTBOOT=NO should
stop the service... but it still does not work !

So I renamed /usr/sbin/firstboot and... it still does not work !???

I looked at the processes running and found that gdm is running spawning a
session with parameter "--gnome-initial-setup" (removing all files
beginning with gnome-initial-setup in /etc/xdg/autostart/ does not work !).

So now I'm trying to figure out how gdm is launched with this parameter...
to avoid this.

Any idea is very welcomed.

Regards,

Olivier.
