Bug Description

At installation time the timezone for Madrid (spain) is asked. The system set GMT+2 automatically and this is wrong.
Spain is used ECT that corresponds to GMT+1. Also Canarias is wrong, shourl be GMT+0
Why is not possible to change timezone manually in that option?

Regards,Dino

This is not an ubuntu-website bug, I'm changing the task to an Ubuntu bug.

I think that Spanish time is currently GMT+2, because during the summer, the local time shifts a further one hour ahead for daylight saving, whereas GMT does not change.

For example, the time in London now is currently GMT+1.

Correct. European countries have daylight saving during summer.
