From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607 Description of problem: Wrong time zone pre-setting for Europe - Prague zone. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1..during instalation RH8.0 choose time zone Evropa/Praha 2.click UTC setting tab 3.there is UTC -5 US eastern set Actual Results: UTC -5 US eastern Expected Results: UTC +1 Additional info: Prague is middle Europe not US Eastern. See: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=204 This time zone also uses DST.
I believe anaconda doesn't synchronize settings on the two tabs at all, and just takes data from the active one when 'Next' is pressed. I'm not sure whether this is the right/expected behavior though. As to the DST checkbox on the UTC tab, this means specifically US-style DST and is not useful for Europe/Prague. The '(US only)' comment is there for a reason.
Although acting slightly strangely, yes the current expected behavior is that the two tabs don't get synchroznied. There's another bug about fixing that for the next release somewhere in bugzilla, but the real fix is going to be a significant rework of that screen.
