Radio button is a must have as these three options are mutually
exclusive (as they are implemented now ~ is that actually correct?).

The most used option should be the first. From this POV, importing users
from previous / other installation might be even the most useful one.
This might differ between openSUSE, SLES and SLED.

openSUSE is for home user - local auth method is probably the most used
one, so importing from previous installation
SLED - corporate ENV -> authentication server
SLED - laptop -> one local user, maybe with importing if possible
SLES - skip user creation

So, I basically don't think it has one good answer for question: what
should be the first, as it depends on more than just one circumstances.

Side note: is has to fit into 80x25 characters. I'm afraid that an
additional text field might not fit (if that was a RichText, it takes 3
lines at minimum).

Thanks
