That file will exist on every read-only media, first boot of writable images
(usb,vmdk), and (if installing directly to partition via the build system or a
mounted image file) hard disk.
The last scenario (of installing directly to hard disk through the build system
or mounted image file) may not be ideal, but it generally tends to be an
advanced installation method. Additionally, it will occur only on first boot.
Fixes#8945.
Some preference apps, mount_server and AboutSystem. Removed the check
for x86_64 in the boot script, the normal path through the script will
work now. Also removed a temporary hack to workaround AboutSystem not
being there in build_haiku_image.
The boot script now launches consoled instead if app_server does not
exist, so there is now an interactive Bash prompt! libbe requires ICU,
which is an optional package, so I've built the packages and they've
been uploaded to haiku-files.org (thanks umccullough).
Add notification when mime sniffing files on first boot, at least it gives a visual indication of why so much cpu is consumed.

One just has to love the write overlay. That one really saved a lot
of work.

* Tracker forwards auto mounter related messages to the mount_server.
* Rewrote AutoMounterSettings to not know AutoMounter and use
the layout-management.
* Moved the "Eject When Unmounting" setting into the Mount Settings.
* Launch the mount_server during boot, but delay the script until all
previously mounted volumes have been mounted. This solves some annoying
timing bugs during boot. For example when you have desktop backgrounds
on other volumes and some servers don't deal well with the situation
of links to add-ons on other volumes becoming valid with a delay...
* src/kits/tracker/Commands.h includes the private headers/private/
mount/MountServer.h header, which made adjustments to the DiskUsage
Jamfile necessary.

* Changed the Bootscript and the InstallerFinishScript to only create and
cleanup a link on the Desktop.
* Applied patch by idefix to fix removing the Installer link from volumes
that contain spaces in the name. (Thanks!)

list when booting from CD. Both are removed from the target in the
InstallerFinishScript. This closes ticket #4342.
* Make Installer start in safemode as well.
* Are there any objections to always have the Installer link in the Deskbar?
I see no real reason to leave it out.

- Move the launching of files in this directory from the Bootscript to the
UserBootscript.
- This means we now ship a working UserBootscript instead of just a sample.
- Updated documentation based on this change and Humdinger's suggestions.

The dead simple Bash code was just copied from Humdinger's patch on #1202. He
also suggested having a link on the Deskbar for this folder, but I don't know
if that is needed. We just need to document it, which I may do next.

* Removed the Terminal from the Bootscript.
* Ordered the servers alphabetically in HaikuImage.

feature and offer the user to boot into the Installer or into the Desktop (Live-CD
mode). Thanks to Vincent Duvert who offered a method that worked around some
interference from mysterious debug output...
The launching of the servers has been refactored, since that needs to be done anyways
before an alert can be shown.

* Made the TimeZoneView less error prone, and also actually use Haiku code (the
previous check didn't work since it used #if, not #ifdef).
* Also took the liberty to rename our boot loader to haiku_loader, since I had
to update the nasm binary anyway. Updated the assembly sources to nasm 2.0.
* I haven't found where the synth location in the MIDI code is specified,
though.
* Also, NetBootArchive, and FloppyBootImage haven't been updated yet. Will do
so next.
* Some optional packages still put their license to beos/etc/licenses. I didn't
update them yet, as we'll probably do so anyway at some point. Also, I think
we might want to introduce a common/data/licenses instead for those.
* If you encounter any problems, please tell!

simply created as files in /boot/var/shared_memory/. The Bootscript
clears the directory.

a bit:
* Added directory /etc/post_install, which can contain scripts that will
be executed on the first boot.
* Moved the mimeset invocations to such a script. Use the "-apps"
option instead of "-all". Since create_app_meta_mime() (and thus
mimeset) work recursively now, running the commands does actually have
an effect.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25309 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
that requires a single parameter.
- Added launching mail_daemon to Bootscript. It will only start if the user
set it to start on boot in the E-mail preferences app.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25161 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
/boot/home/config/settings.
* The Bootscript will check for the existance of this file and updates the
mime database with all the applications and preflets that come with the
install. Then it removes the indicator file.
This fixes the problem that all the apps are not known to the system until
you run them once. Ie "Open With..." and such stuff works out of the box.
Feel free to find a more elegant way, I just found this simple and effective.

more complete for now.
