As a replacement, you can use the `geolocation_provider=URL` option to set the required geolocation in the installation program configuration file. You can still use the `inst.geoloc=0` option to disable the geolocation.	Story Points:	---

Comment 14 Jan Stodola 2023-06-23 08:23:04 UTC

Tested with anaconda-34.25.3.4-1.el9 and no problem was found:

* If geolocation succeeds, language and timezone is set automatically.
* If geolocation succeeds and language is changed on the first screen, timezone is kept unchanged - it means the timezone provided by geolocation is used.
* If geolocation fails or is disabled by inst.geoloc=0, English/New York timezone is pre-selected by default. Changing language also changes the timezone. This is what has changed comparing to RHEL-9.2.

Also tested other scenarios, like setting language/timezone via kickstart, setting language on the kernel cmdline or in text mode. No regression in behavior was found comparing to RHEL-9.2.

What took a slightly longer was a use case when networking could not be brought up automatically (no DHCP on the network), but this delay is present even with anaconda-34.25.3.3-1.el9, so it's not related to this change.

Marking as Verified:Tested.
