Currently, freedombox-setup doesn't create this log by itself. You would have to run setup like this, in order to save the logs: $ sudo /usr/lib/freedombox/setup 2>&1 | tee /var/log/freedombox-setup.log (This is how it's run by freedom-maker.) We can update the instructions on the wiki. But maybe the logging function should be moved into freedombox-setup, for simplicity, and consistency with how the first-run logging is done. > When the system reboots after the setup command, it will, in the > background, setup many other things as part of the first-boot process. > During this period you may have experienced that the system is not > responding.

The fbx user is created by freedom-maker. So running freedombox-setup won't create a user. It should be possible to login as any previously existing user though. Also it looks like the README won't be copied to home, because /home/fbx won't exist. Maybe we could improve this by copying it to the home folders for all existing users. -- James
