post-install configuration errors in 20120605
Hello..
Section 'create a user' seems to have a logic error-
The Username field can automatically be filled based upon the content of the Name field. If 'john smith' is entered the result is 'jsmith' or if 'john jacob jingleheimer schmidt' is used, the Username becomes 'jschmidt' and in these cases the intent succeeds. The trouble appears when there is only one character or string entered in the Name field. Where 'john' is the
Name, the Username will be 'jjohn' which is a simple doubling of the first letter, rather than taking the name verbatim as the content of this second field. In addition to this, there seems to be no check for allowable characters when the Username is auto-filled.
Back button & abort issue-
If the back button is ever used, the 'next' button becomes inactive. I discovered this during an install within VirtualBox, so it was easy enough to start over, but an install is still a lengthy process to fail during the post configuration. It is also possible to kill-off the entire process which may sometimes be useful but in both situations the run-once flag has already been set so that booting a second time does not cause this post-install configuration to reappear.
Thank you!
