My ks scripts have the timezone set to PDT (America/Los_Angeles).

Installation to a hard drive works as expected. PDT in startup and in shells, etc.

Creating a livecd-creator iso with the same tz setting, then booting, shows A/L_A in the /etc/sysconfig/clock file, as expected.

However the date is always EDT in the boot messages, shells, etc.

During startup I see :

(lvm)
Press I to enter interactive startup
Setting clock (utc) Mon Jun 4 00:12:59 EDT 2007
(udev)

I'm not clear on what is happening between lvm and udev in the Linux startup sequence.

It is probably using the /etc/localtime to determine the time zone.
Replace that with /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles.

For the above entry, search for "Setting clock" in /etc/rc.sysinit.

Yes, it's the binary file /etc/localtime.

It appears livecd-creator doesn't trigger a code path into "tzdata-update" (directly) or via "build-locale-archive" (indirectly) whereas a kickstart or "normal" anaconda install does.

For now I'm going to dynamically update it during startup with "tzdata-update".

Thanks,
John
