You underestimate the true power of this operating system. :-)
Nah, I underestimated the power of our state legislature 8^o
Either change the /etc/localtime symlink to point to the right timezone file, or
run /stand/sysinstall, choose "Configure" for post-install config, select "Time
Zone", and you'll end up being prompted with these choices:
x x 1 Eastern Time
x x 2 Eastern Time - Michigan - most locations
x x 3 Eastern Time - Kentucky - Louisville area
x x 4 Eastern Time - Kentucky - Wayne County
x x 5 Eastern Standard Time - Indiana - most locations
x x 6 Eastern Standard Time - Indiana - Crawford County
x x 7 Eastern Standard Time - Indiana - Starke County
x x 8 Eastern Standard Time - Indiana - Switzerland County
...which will do the same thing.
Selections 5 through 8 will no longer be valid in April. The list of
counties changed. More counties than #6, #7, #8 are going to Central TZ,
one county is going with "Commerce Time", and item #5 (most locations)
is switching to DST.
So I must setup DST manually, or select to #1. I think.
