Package: boot-floppies
Version: current CVS; reported 2000-02-08
Severity: normal
When selecting the new user account name, the base-config script defers
the running of adduser to later in the installation process. This causes
somewhat of a UI disconnect when it just dumps one into the adduser
terminal prompts after selecting to install the system from preselected
sets of packages.

This bug should have been filed on base-config. Then I would know what
version you have installed, and would be able to tell you just how out of
date that is. :-) base-config has not ran adduser in interactive mode for
a while now.
