Description of problem: According to the comments in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881403 you should be able to have local time if you do NOT specify Uts on the kickstart timezone command [there is currently no way to do it from the gui]. Maybe it should be working that way but it is not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Release 19, anaconda 19.30.13-1.fc19 How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.do a kickstart install for a minimal system 2. 3. Actual results: /etc/adjtime has UTC The anaconda-ks.cfg file in /root has timezone America/New_York --isUtc Expected results: /etc/adjtime has LOCAL The anaconda-ks.cfg file in /root has timezone America/New_York Additional info: Yes, I know the using UTC is the "right thing to do" but ... that is your opinion. The ability to specify whether Utc or local time was to be used has been an option in Red Hat Linux and then Fedora for a long, long time. What is the justification for removing that option and forcing UTC???
The problem is fixed in rawhide.
