+&gt;<i> 2. The &quot;advanced&quot; option evidently is a possibility - I consider it
+</I>&gt;<i> slightly annoying, a radio-button would make life easier -
+</I>&gt;<i> respecting the same sequence of defining users is no problem. In
+</I>&gt;<i> fact, what I presently do is, I initially define a dummy user
+</I>&gt;<i> during system install with whatever system install creates as ids,
+</I>&gt;<i> and than use MCC to set up the real users; but that illustrates
+</I>&gt;<i> the point: the radio-button proposal would make this less time
+</I>&gt;<i> consuming.
+</I>I don't see the logic in your doings.
+If using a button as you propose you have to use the same order in
+creating the users, so you have to write down, in which orde you have
+created them.
+Wouldn't it be easier to write down their UIDs and GIDs and use the
+existing advanced button?
+And wouldn't that be a lot easier then the dummy user way you are
+using at the moment?
+And a second problem: As Michael pointed out, there are at least 4
+&quot;starting UIDs&quot; arround, so the whole purpose of your proposal is
+ruined when having more then two distros...
+A better way (but not as easy to do) would be to parse existing
+/etc/passwd files on other partitions and propose to take the UID/GID
+settings from those.
