In order to support deployements activities the standard SOAS image should allow a limited degree of personalization for basic settings.

This page would be the start of a documentation effort aimed to document those basic interfaces:

In case of a deploy in a school we could not expect children or teacher to spend a large initial amount of time to set up basic paramenters for SOAS usage (es. LANGUAGE, Timezone, Keyboard, servers, etc).

Whatever approach would be taken in order to land those initial settings in the actual sticks/images, the very first step is to try to define with increasing detail:
