[ubuntu-uk] OEM Setup was Ubuntu via Tescos

[Tom Bamford]

I've used it in Feisty. When you're finished with the temporary user
account, you issue an oem-config-prepare command as root and shut the
machine down. The next boot takes you (ie. the end user) through a
config wizard to create a user, set the timezone etc.

Regards,
Tom
