Do You know how to set timezone at boot time?
It seems for now hardocded to Etc/GMT.
We could have some pseudo debconf preseeding in that place like
following patch does.
Applied to current SVN, I use it like e.g :
$ make-live --bootappend="timezone=Europe/Paris"
I'm actually not really happy with that as we could go adding zillions
of new debconf
paramaters when using a preseed file with the "preseed/file=" keyword
seems saner.
Cheers
