It's months since I've installed squeeze so I can't say for sure. Does this happen with the expert installer? :-? Binding a timezone to a location seems quite logic, but binding - enforcing- a locale to specific timezone (or viceversa) seems to be completely wrong, IMO. If it's reproducible with the latest installer I think it's worth reporting. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
