I know :) I'm just curious as to why 1) several files aparrently were
hardlinked to /etc/localtime on the single volume system and 2) what is
done differently when the sles9 installer is presented with a device vs a
multi-device install.

You can always copy the appropriate timezone file to /etc/localtime instead
