It may be hard to do in system-config-date, but getting the default right would be nice I agree.

Try running "locale".

[rodd@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
[rodd@localhost ~]$
So, let me get this straight.  All of this was set because I said I
wanted my computer to speak English (USA)?

If this is the case, then anaconda really needs a little more smarts
than making the assumption that because I choose to use a language I
must live where that language is spoken.  Maybe anaconda needs to ask a
for more questions about my location before setting my locale?


R.


How about address this whole Letter vs A4 issue by putting an option in S-C-P that change the paper size...

Server Settings --> Set default paper/media size to [ users choose the A4 or Letter ] and S-C-P changes it where it needs to be change for example
the option  might change LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" to LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"...

Best regards.
