Installation

Choosing the Next option of Configure the Base System will display:

Screen 33: Select Time zone

The object is to choose the time zone that represents your version of local

time. You may either choose a time zone from the list on the right, or choose

a geographical area from the list on the left. This can be very misleading at

times.

For example: If you are in the Eastern time zone in the United States, you

would be tempted to choose America which leads to a list of cities, instead of

the US section which leads to the Eastern time zone.

On the other hand you can choose a reasonable time zone from the list on the

right. If you want daylight savings time to take effect at the appropriate time

choose EST5EDT, otherwise choose EST to configure Eastern Standard.

Whatever you choose at this time can be changed later by running tzconfig.
