>Description:

Before we ship 2.2, we should really move the US timezones someplace
easier to get to them.  Yes, I'm in the US, and yes, I'm a damn bigot.

Considering the number of US installations of FreeBSD, it's really
annoying to have to navigate through several pages of menus to set
US/Pacific.

Failing that, make it so that a user that knows WTF they are doing can
set the timezone in the install program by typing "US/Pacific".

>How-To-Repeat:

Install freebsd or run tzsetup.

>Fix:
	
See above.

State-Changed-When: Tue Feb 2 13:13:33 PST 1999 
State-Changed-Why:  
tzsetup now allows a command-line default to be provided.  sysinstall 
should be updated to allow the configuration file and/or options screen 
to specify a default timezone.

State-Changed-Why:  
sysinstall now has a two-level timezone selection menu, which should be 
sufficient.
