the setup of the timezone and country in the summary of the install is - not good enough during install - wrong during update timezone: all states of the USA are expanded so I have to scroll down a lot to come to Europe. I would prefer to have all parts of the world collapsed, expand my part and choose my timezone. something like http://glow.mozilla.org . The choice for NTP could be on by default. country (install): I would like it to be like the timezone: 1 part of the world, 2 country country (update): After an update the country is reset to USA. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
The security level is also forgotten after an update.
Source RPM: mageia-dvd-1-Beta1-x86_64.iso => drakx-installer-stage2
with upgrading from mdv 2010.1 x86_64 PWP to mageia 1 beta 2: - confirmed country being reset to installation standard after language/keyb choice. - confirmed unset security level

i donno, this seems a pretty major to me? when upgrading from mdv security level becomes 'unset' and country is being changed to USA? if this isn't fixed at least it should be in Errata imho (especially since we have high expectations of upgrades from mdv)
Thierry, can you check that one? I thought this was already fixed in another bug report but cannot find it

Too much work for this stage. We would need a binding for some "choose TZ on the planet" widget The only thing we could do for now would be not to expand USA by default, which I'm not sure it's worth it at this stage. security level is another issue which is already fixed. (Please do NOT mix issues in the same report)
ok removing it from tracker then. This will have to be reworked after release

@ Henk I don't remember what this is like in Mageia 1 installer. Did this get solved?

Ping for mageia2 :)
Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja

I don't remember scrolling endlessly through a USA list, btw. Did that already get solved, so it can be removed from the summary?

It is still in mga-2. If you choose for language==Dutch then you also get timezone==Amsterdam and country==Nederland. But if you choose for language==English(US) [like most people I know, and that work in IT, do] you get the expanded USA state list.

Thanks for clarifying :) I always choose UK English ;)
Closing as old, also because some stuff is mixed in needlessly & some is fixed. Will post new bug for part of the prob...
