/etc/sysconfig/firstboot
configuration file.
Proceed in a similar way to configure customized license and finish messages. These
variables are
FIRSTBOOT_LICENSE_DIR
and
FIRSTBOOT_FINISH_FILE
.
6.2.2 Customizing the License Action
You can customize the way the installation system reacts to a user not accepting the
license agreement. There are three different ways in which the system could react to a
user's failure to accept the license:
halt
The firstboot installation is aborted and the entire system shuts down. This is the
default setting.
continue
The firstboot installation continues.
abort
The firstboot installation is aborted, but the system tries to boot.
Make your choice and set
LICENSE_REFUSAL_ACTION
to the appropriate value.
