also - contrary to most Distro installation docs (which includes Gentoo ;-) ): In those docs, /etc/localtime ought to be copied from /usr/share/timezone/XX/YY Personally, I rather set a symlink than copy the file... Has the following advantages: - It's clearly visible what's the configured timezone (by simply reading the link text ;-) ) - updates to timezone-data update system's timezone automagically Drawbacks: according to FHS /usr may be a remote filesystem, but /etc/localtime has to exist during boot.
