In the Debian installer yes, but the stupid Ubuntu installer forces you to pick from a map.
- mindslight 1y agoIf the map let you pick any arbitrary point rather than having to pick a specific city in the TZ database, that would actually be a better way than a list of cities. See the discussion elsewhere in this thread about mapping Salt Lake City -> (Boise vs Denver). (I don't think the TZ database contains the information to do this though, but maybe it should?)
- prmoustache 1y agoThe good option is not to yell at clouds but to open a bug report, provide a patch, use Debian or change it after install.
- dheera 1y agoI change it after install, but let's be realistic: I'm not Linus Torvalds or Guido von Rustum, it's not like they would listen to me or take my patch.

- dheera 1y agoBecause it works? Why wouldn't you?
