I think getting the language/keyboard correct is more important then
the timezone when the systems starts...
With the wrong keyboard/language user cannot read/type
with the new install you can use cursor keys and enter key which
arent variable between languages/keyboards to move around what to
choose. I think....
You supply the list, they can select without typing anything.
You want to get fancy, you have colour even if I am not sure how many
flags would use that ugly brown (g).
Timezones, I would say if you want to make that easier is to select a
default one automatic and show him the other options he has if he
doesnt agree.
To do that properly one either shows per country where user is or want
to install to whatever timezones are possible, click the one required
or supply all locales.
I set all my systems up based on GMT though...
Note that one doesnt have to live in the USA to want to use an USA
keyboard/English or even Timezone...
Personally I would prefer the mouse to get activated asap after
language and keyboard as once they have a mouse even the dumbest
windows user OUGHT to know how to use it (well we had one customer with mouse upside
down and moving the ball so we sold him a rollerball....)
He had it backwards as well as then it was like using his sailingboat
he said.....
Best regards,
