Disabling Check Point WebUI first time configuration wizard

To install a new Check Point appliance from fresh normally you must run the first time installation wizard, this can easily be overridden by running the command “touch /etc/.wizard_accepted” from expert mode. Once the first time wizard has been disabled you can run the “cpconfig” command to configure the appliance from the CLI.
