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
