Description Kris Urquhart 2002-08-01 01:22:01 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Under "Account Configuration", "Add" user, the user name field is limited to 8 
chars.  After install, I use adduser to create accounts with names longer than 
8 chars, so why not during install?

The POSIX specification limits you to 8 characters plus a null terminator.
