At what point does it ask about NTP - I thought that came later in the
install process? If you select a timezone but leave the default utc
flag unset then this system does hit the network request issue - I
checked three times to make sure I was not doing something dumb.  I
did not at that stage find any options to select ntp to sync time
before I had the network request - unless I am really blind!

Maybe I should try again with the utc box ticked! (Though I still
can't see that it should ask about networking anyway)
