regional list for americas

Description of problem:

When installing in Text Mode, when one reaches the region list under time zone settings, the list might be too big to fit in one screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
f18 tc5 dvd

How reproducible:
allways

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot with text
2. enter time zone settings, select americas
3. a big list appears, only the last part of the list is show
  
Expected results:
see proposal above.

regional list for americas (another guest)

Additional info:

In this new guest (VNC:cirrus) it seems to use a frame-buffer: 
"(cirrusdrmfb (fb0) is primary device"

So the screen is larger than 80x25 of the other guest (spice:qlx) wich gets the real vga text mode.

So in this case the list did fit in the screen (VNC:cirrus).

I tried with F18-TC1 (anaconda 18.36) and the issue is still there.
A pause is needed on certain regions (like Americas) because the list is too large.

another screenshot, scrolling up does not help.

is also shows that using SHIFT+PgUP and scrolling up does not help at all.

I changed version to 20, since it is still an issue.
