Yeah tell me about it, I just added a workaround in Installer due to
BTextView not resizing when the text it holds gets bigger. Though
maybe we don't want that behavior in most cases anyhow.

I imagine there was a reason. It might be nice to be able to specify a

Is there timezone setting as part of the ReadOnlyBootPrompt? Because
that seems like the time to ask for the timezone and then ask whether
the time in Haiku looks right, then suggest changing this setting.
