Default Attach baseboard moulding to steel stud wall

What's the best way to attach baseboard moulding to a steel stud wall? I
suppose it will be necessary to srew it, but I hate the idea of having to
fill all those big holes.

thanks in advance.

Panel adhesive and finish nails driven at an angle with an air
nailer. If something is particularly troublesome use trim head
screws.

If you have not built the wall yet, set a treated bottom plate and
set the metal base track on top of it. (provides a continuous
nailer at the bottom of the trim. The same treatment helps around
doors.
