When trying to set a custom UID or GID in the Mageia installer, I'm getting the error message "UID must be a number", even if - at least in my world - 501,601, 1001 or 10001 are numbers...

According to bug 120, this affects the firewall section on the Summary page, users can't type a custom port in the Advanced section in the firewall setup.

Confirmed bug for beta 1.  

The install is completely blocked once one tries to set the id number, there is no way to come back, except a reboot.

You can delete the numbers and than go back.
