Install Zorin in OEM [SOLVED]

Hi there,

Here in Belgium, there are charity shops where recycled items are sold to people with a limited budget.
Also recycled computers are sold, but without operating system.
There are discussions with the expert team of the dome of Environmental Entrepreneurs in the Social Economy and Dutch Zorin to install on those computers Zorin OS so that the recycled computers are equipped with an operating system.
It is talked about, there are no decisions made.
But I like to think ahead.

Can Zorin be preinstalled on a computer? I mean like an OEM as these possibility exists in Ubuntu by pressing F4 before installing.
But I've also tried this with Zorin OS and there it doesn't exists that possibility when you press the F4 key.
I like to know if it is possible.

I cannot see it being an issue, so long as Core is installed. I have built the majority of the towers at home from scratch - your only issue on recycled ones might be an arduous one depending on age and what 'bootloader' commands you need to add to get them to boot correctly!

on a regular install should I fill in a user name and a password.
and this should not happen if you Zorin install on computers that remain to be sold.
The buyer must have the capacity to create a user name and a password if the computer starts for the first time.

Having delved a bit I found this:

This goes beyond my knowledge base. I've never made a script for Linux before.
Should i ask azorin and zorink to even read this topic and give suggestions?

Or you could play!

Maybe this was meant as a joke but i don't know what it means lol

In the meantime i send a pm to the admins Azorin and Zorink.

Never to late to learn script Hensyr! I may try it on an old notebook!

Hi there Swarfendor437,

I have good news from the Zorin Group.

There will be an OEM version with the next LTS release.

Glad to hear, but will be a long wait? 2019?

How do you came to 2019? A new LTS release take place every two years i think, so the new LTS should be next year 2016.

Hi Hensyr,

Look at the image on the left!

what you show to me is the duration of an LTS not the new release.

as far as i know there is a new LTS release every two years and the duration of an LTS is always 5 years

or i have been realy wrong

Oh, got it!
