[Bug 985913] Re: Location/TimeZone not selected automatically

[Stéphane Graber]

I'm not sure I understand your comment completely, sorry.

Are you saying you had network connectivity from the beginning till the
end of the install or were you connecting/disconnecting during the
install?

The later may explain the installer skipping the geoip code as it only
does that if it has network connectivity according to network manager
and can access the connection check page and can access the geoip
server. If any of these checks weren't done by the time you reached the
timezone, geoip is skipped.
