- On Debian-based systems (including Ubuntu), /etc/timezone contains
the right answer.
- On some Redhat-based systems (CentOS, RHEL, Fedora), /etc/localtime
is a symlink to (for example) /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London.
- OpenBSD seems to use the same scheme as RedHat.
As I see it, several major distros provide a solution to this problem,
but LFS does not.
A few additions lines would help others who will end up with this
problem at some point later.
RedHat does not support separate /usr directories (e.g /usr from nfs).
I'm not sure about other distos. What would you suggest should be added
to the LFS book and still support a separate /usr partition?
