No I mean give them the message, but in a separate subsection of the
"Time" part of the panel, have an option to configure NTP, like Enabled
or not, the server (If there's a custom one), when to update the time,
etc, etc, so you can set it up in Setup, and not have to wait until
you're @ the desktop.
Sorry if I got the 2 confused, I'd be happy to just let the timezone
default to nothing until someone gets around to making a good guessing
algorithm (If that ever happens ;)).
Any better?
