Dear Maintainer, The preseed example in the installation guide uses the old format of US time zone which no longer works. It would be nice to have a working value there in the example. I haven't done preseed for a while but now am going to set up some VMs, so I downloaded the example-preseed.txt file for trixie, modified & tested (with latest trixie netinst iso). Time zone setting didn't apply (used US/Central - also tried US/Eastern, which is exactly what is in the example). Looked in /usr/share/zoneinfo and saw the links for the old US/ format are no longer there. Changed my file to America/Chicago and it the setting applied successfully. It would be nice if the example were updated to America/New_York or some other working value. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.12.74+deb13+1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU thread; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
