combustion

System for initial configuration of appliances

Combustion is a minimal module for dracut, which runs a user provided script on the first boot of a transactional system. You can use this to create additional files, install packages, set up devices or even re-partition the hard disk. The configuration can be provided as a shell script, loaded from an external storage media and is run during boot in a new system snapshot. On success, the system will directly boot into that new snapshot, so that no reboot is needed.
