Unfortunately, dual boot with Windows is more common than you might hope with RHEL (based on bug reports). |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040806 Description of problem: The timezone selection should default the "System uses UTC" checkbox checked by default. There may be some merit in having it unchecked for dual-boot systems (where the other system is Windows), but this is not terribly likely for most RHEL systems is it? Although it seems that it's no longer necessary to have this box checked to have switching to and from daylight savings time the help text contradicts this does it not? (I'm sorry, I'm not in a position to check that definitively right now.) It also seems that the settings during the install aren't carried through to the timezone selection during firstboot (but that's a different bug, already logged) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 2. Click through to timezone selection 3. Observe "system uses UTC time" box not checked by default, also note that help text might be lying :-) Additional info:
