(sorry, my previous message was sent without being completed)
Not any application in particular, but after installing on OEM mode
(when you boot the liveCD press any key to change language, then select
language and press F4 to select installation modes, where OEM
installation is available) there should be an option to set-up for end
user, which is not present, that option should allow the final user of
the computer to create its user accounts, set up keyboard and language.
This is useful for those who might want to install Luna in a computer
that will be used by another person, like a brand new one.
Attached 2 images, the first one (screen1.png) shows the OEM install
option. the second one (screen2.png) shows the "prepare for shipping to
end user" option in Xubuntu 12.04 which is missing on Luna.
Yes, the old OEM installation from the DVD is not used any more, however
it can be enabled pressing F4 on the liveCD
The OEM install is, in my opinion, very important, it's handy when you
perform an install for somebody else but you don't want to create an
user account for it, just like a brand new computer, you install this
way, select "prepare for..." and shutdown the computer, ship it to who
is going to use it and when he/she turns on the computer, the initial
set up will be shown. See the rest of images which displays what happens
next after you select the option "prepare for..."

After that process the user is taken to the login page so he/she can use
the account just created.

What application(s) do you expect? We probably removed them to save
space. Maybe we can make room to return them to the ISO. However,
space is quite scarce at the moment.

Hello team!
I did what Fabian suggested and installed on a virtual machine
successfully, pressing F4 and selecting OEM mode.
However, after rebooting I ran into a very important problem,
there is no way to set up the system for end user, there is no
icon in the desktop nor a menu entry (and I don't remember if
there is a terminal way to do that). I would like to fix this,
however, I don't know how.

Hey Alex,
I'm not 100% sure but as we use the same installer as Ubuntu does
this might actually already work without us knowing, it would be
great if you could test such an installation out on one of our
recent daily builds(which you can find here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/elementaryos/files/unstable/)
Thanks for pointing us in this direction, have a nice day ;)

Hello Team!
I would like to know if Elementary OS Luna will include
an OEM installation mode like Ubuntu, to allow install the OS
for a future user to configure.
I sometimes rebuild computers and sell them with Ubuntu,
but I would like to switch to Luna once it is released, but
for this an OEM install mode is crucial.
Is it going to be available? Is it going to be able to
install applications for the end-user?
will it include codecs?
Thanks in advance!
