Suppressing the Apple "first-run" process

Not applicable

Hello!

Like many of you, we've been experimenting with Lion. One issue we've been
wondering about is whether it is possible/advisable to make images from a
"never-started" install of an OS, and doing $whatever_it_takes to suppress
the first run, "Welcome to OS X, create an account" process, or just go
ahead and step through the process and then blow away the account that's
created during the process, since we usually create our admin account as a
hidden account through a Casper Admin configuration.

Any advice? Anything you can tell us would be much appreciated.

Casper Imaging always did that for you automatically. Did that break with Lion? Haven't tried myself yet.

Ah, didn't know that - I'm pretty new to the Casper Suite. :)
