As a distro maintainer nothing has frustrated me as much as this little application firstboot. Well, I am very pleased to say I have whacked it!
Foresight has replaced firstboot with a combination of autoconfig (modified from knoppix) and firstrun. Autoconfig configures Xorg on boot and firstrun creates the first user and adds them to the wheel group.
