Description Justin Conover 2006-01-13 21:39:06 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060103 Fedora/1.5-4 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
I select Chicago for my time zone, when you boot into FC it sets it to EST.  Change it again with system-config-date and it does keep the settings. 

This happened with pulling the boot.iso from rawhide date 01-12-06 on x86 and x86_64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.3.57-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download boot.iso
2. Install fc, select timezone, other than EST.  e.g. CST   America/Chicago
3. First boot timezone will be set to EST.
  

Actual Results:  EST was selected for timezone

Expected Results:  CST should have been selected

Additional info:

 rpm -qa firstboot system-config-date
firstboot-1.3.57-1
system-config-date-1.7.99.13-1
