** Description changed:

  Seen on Dell h/w (R730) and also tested on a qemm VM.
- amd64 15.10 server iso (was previously using 14.04, so I don't know when this problem started). 
- During installation you get the question "based on your location, your timezone is Europe/London - is this correct" (or similar words).  On previous release (14.04) I would answer NO and then was able to select UTC (or select some other timezone from a list).  With 15.10, regardless of the answer the installer just carries on as if the reply had been YES.
