Comment:
add hint to change the uid generated by the GOsa wizard 

  Next to that tree navigation item you can see the "Actions" menu. Move your mouse over this item and a submenu appears on screen; choose "Create" here, and then "User". You will be guided by the user creation wizard.
  
    * The most important thing to add is the template (newstudent or newteacher) and the full name of your user (see image).
-   * As you follow the wizard, you will see that GOsa² generates a username automatically based on the real name. It automatically chooses a username that doesn't exist yet, so multiple users with the same full name are not a problem.  Note that GOsa² can generate invalid usernames if the full name contains non-ASCII characters.

(If you want to be able to edit the proposed username, open {{{/etc/gosa/gosa.conf}}} with an editor and add {{{allowUIDProposalModification="true"}}} as an additional option to the "location definition".) 
    * When the wizard has finished, you are presented with the GOsa² screen for your new user object. Use the tabs at the top to check the completed fields.
  
  After you have created the user (no need to customise fields the wizard has left empty for now), click on the "Ok" button in the bottom-right corner.
