timezone selection differs alternate vs gaphical install

Just wanted to put a few things out here.

The basic issue with the Ubiquity system is that many cities are not listed.
For instance, I live in Houston, TX which is a pretty big city, yet it is not an option.
In fact, there are very few cities listed in the middle of the US on the map.
I can think of two possible solution.
   1. Add more cities
   2. Put the timezone dividers on the map
Other things that may help would be to allow a zoom-in on the map.
  it is a little hard to tell where you are clicking.

Obviously, putting the EST, CST, MST and PST would help.

Thank you for accepting the bug,

Thanks for your report. I think this is basically bug 103583 (which also explains why at present we try to get you to select cities rather than timezones). I'm not sure at the moment whether the right answer is more cities (somebody will always complain that their city isn't listed) or some other means of selection.

The GTK frontend used in e.g. the Ubuntu installer has zooming; the fact that the KDE frontend doesn't is bug 60065.

I don't remember the zoom option, this was the Ubuntu install disk by the way.
The zoneinfo has the entire list of CST and so forth. It is odd that they are not
listed. I read the other bug report and while there are Central Time Zone cities
listed, it is hard to select them. Most of the obvious choices end up in Mexico,
Canada or Indiana. Indiana is a special case as some cities do not do Daylight
Savings Time.

Thank you,
