The zoom-able map is there only to ease the process of selecting you home town... However, if you mentioned extensions to timezone, it came to my mind that Fedora 7 installer didn't set timezone to Europe/Prague even with Czech language selected as installation language. I think it would be useful to set the timezone by default relevant to selected language of installation, or if internet connection is available, to check the position of computer and adjust timezone to that. Also, I think this feature need not to be included only in anaconda. I think, for people with laptops it could be useful to adjust timezone automatically as they travel from one to another. Martin
