That seems like the perfect solution actually, now if only we could get Redmond to do the same... IMHO NTP should be setup after the initial ROS is installed, this way they can test their settings without having to load all the network drivers during installation. If I understand what you are saying here you want to use the NTP query to determine the timezone? The problem with this is that I believe that if no timezone is given to the NTP server it guesses based on IP, which is not always accurate. I say stick with the "Please select your timezone..." and then have the user setup NTP if they so choose after ROS is installed.
Windows does automatically set up NTP after installation already. For the timezone argument, I just thought about the fact that Windows users have been living with the Redmond default for ages. I even have a reflex to press the up arrow the exact number of times it takes me to get to EST, I don't even look at the combo box anymore.
