Title:
  9.10 changes system clock in "try ubuntu without any changes to your
  computer"

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have found that booting Ubuntu 9.10 as a live cd via the "try ubuntu
  without any changes to your computer" menu causes the system clock to
  be set to UTC (presumably synced over my net connection).

  All I have to do is boot this way and the clock changes.

  The exact version I'm using seems to be current according to the hash,
  ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso with md5
  8790491bfa9d00f283ed9dd2d77b3906. I checked the hash before burning to
  disc.

  I know this behaviour is default for an install, but it seems like the
  clock should be left alone for the live mode(It would also be nice to
  have a button to use local time instead of manually editing rcS, but I
  digress, this is not a feature request) .

  
  It's not the biggest problem, but considering that most people's first taste of ubuntu(or linux for that matter) is through the live mode, it could easily dishearten after the promise of "no changes".

  
  I tried searching to check if this bug has already been reported, but couldn't find any matches, my apologies if this is a duplicate.

  As a snooty sort of a bug reporter(it's just me) I feel obligated to
  thank everyone involved in improving ubuntu, it must be a huge job.
