I found the Locale option to cast in stone. What I mean is that the end-user should be able to determine the format of the date he wishes to use, and not the format attributed to the locale selection. I always use yyyy/mm/dd, no matter the locale (example, Spanish, French and English)
With Locale I get the choice, based on UK, USA, France, etc of yy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yy, and dd/mm/yyyy.
I nowhere have yyyy/mm/dd. Can this be improved upon. (Refer to Windows 7 locale, which allows defaults and overriding the defaults).

Looks okay to me, though I would add text to reflect that this will
also be the default language/locale for the system (not just the install
language).

Since it affects the language displayed in anaconda I think it has to be.

What is the difference? :) Until we can decouple glibc's tight
binding of language and location (locales) I think this is about
the best we can do.
