FirstBoot runs only after an initial installation and guides you through the various remaining configuration tasks.

Click Forward to display the License Information window.

Select Yes, I agree to the license agreement, and click Forward to display the Set Up Software Updates window.
—-> A

If your system has an active network connection, you can register your system with the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) and subscribe the system to software and Ksplice updates.
—> (might reflect on B)
Click Forward to display the Create User window.

Create a non-administrative user account. If you have an existing IPA, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS, or Winbind user database, click Use Network Login to configure the system to obtain user account information from the network server. Click Advanced if you want to specify the user’s home directory or user ID.
—> C
Click Forward to display the Date and Time window.

Set the current date and time. You can choose to synchronize the system’s date and time from an NTP server.
—> D
Click Forward to display the Kdump window.

If required, enable the Kdump kernel crash dump mechanism and configure the amount of memory to reserve for it. If your system crashes, Kdump captures information that assists in determining the cause of the crash.

Click Finish to complete FirstBoot configuration and display the graphical login screen.

So possible correct answers could be A,(B),C,D

A. Agreeing to the license agreement — TRUE … This is Required. No option here.

B. Registering for software updated – Not required.

C. Creating a non-administrative user – TRUE. This is not required but if you skip it, you get a Warning window pop up and asks to confirm you selection. Plus, the message says ‘you “Must” create a username for regular (non-admin) access’.
… Apparently the Oracle Linux overlords think this one is particularly important.
… I’m going with true on this one because it of the word “must” in the actual gui, and also you get a Waring message if you don’t do it (even though it still lets you skip it).

D. setting the current date and time to be synchronized with an NTP server -FALSE. NOT required.

E. Configuring the dtrace facility — FALSE … dtrace is not even available by default.
