Thanks Emil, I'll give this a try first thing Monday morning.

Hi all,

I'm trying to have the timezone set to EST after the install is complete but it is always set to UTC.

I have changed the config/class/FAIBASE.var file and set the time_zone values like this:

# Set UTC=yes if your system clock is set to UTC (GMT), and UTC=no if not.
UTC=no
time_zone=America/EST

The variable name as used in fai/config/scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc is "TIMEZONE", not "time_zone".

Furthermore, I had to fix the localtime in the nfsroot (to fix rsync problems with a hook I use during install):

 cd /srv/fai/nfsroot/etc/
 rm localtime
 ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam localtime
