A system for configuring packages is provided using debconf allowing custom configured packages to be installed in your custom produced live system images, but for the <a href="the-basics.en.html#downloading-prebuilt-images">prebuilt live images</a> we choose to leave packages in their default configuration, unless absolutely necessary in order to work in the live environment. Wherever possible, we prefer to adapt packages within the Debian archive to work better in a live system versus making changes to the live toolchain or <a href="managing-a-configuration.en.html#clone-configuration-via-git">prebuilt image configurations</a>.
