Thanks.
Yes, in YaST, among the user setting and group settings.
Unfortunately during installation there is no such an option.
You can only change the password encryption method and authentication
method. It was possible to change user ID in pre suse 10 versions, then it
was removed, I don't know why.
Since my user ID is not 1000, every time when I install a new system I have to
create a fake user before creating my own user account.

If anyone has an idea how to trick this one, please write it.

Thanks again,

Istvan
