Currently the installer iterates the timezone list and chooses the first entry that corresponds to the selected country code. When the country is wide enough and spans across several timezones, the selection may be wrong. For example, for a user in Europe/Moscow the installer would select the Asia/Anadyr timezone, because it's the first entry with "RU" country code in the list. This should be corrected. The default timezone should be selected according to the location based on the detected IP address.
