Description Pat Boyle 2009-05-27 13:53:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
When configuring a kickstart file for Fedora 10, the America/New York time zone causes an issue with the anaconda installer when the kickstart file created is used for an installation.  A space in the New York field causes the issue - the correct way is "New_York" not "New York" since Anaconda is expecting a single argument for the timezone.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.7.20

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new kickstart file using the system-config-kickstart GUI.
2.Use America/New York as the time zone
3.Save the kickstart and load it using boot parameter during installation of F10
  
Actual results:
Error during install - Only one argument expected.
Field data - "timezone America/New York"

Expected results:
Smooth installation.
Field data - "timezone America/New_York"

Additional info:
Use an underscore "_" instead of a space in New York (use "New_York").
