system-config-date is missing from firstboot
Last modified: 2009-09-21 17:02:56 EDT
Description of problem: Install of last few weeks of rawhide have been missing the screen during graphical firstboot that prompts you for the date and time an allows you to enable ntp Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide 20080408 firstboot-1.95-3.fc9.i386 How reproducible: 100%
I thought the plan was we were going to increasingly start using gdm for this kind of stuff (like how the keyboard is now configurable from at the bottom of the screen). Regardless if we do want to put this back into firstboot, we'll need to make some modifications to the system-config-date screen to work with the new firstboot module layout.
It would be handy if there is a nice way to permanently set the clock, and time zone. Resetting the clock after every boot of F9beta is getting boring :-\
This module will be added back in to the next build of firstboot, though I don't think translators will be too happy to see new strings at this stage.
