also - contrary to most Distro installation docs (which includes Gentoo |
| 10 |
;-) ): |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In those docs, /etc/localtime ought to be copied from |
| 13 |
/usr/share/timezone/XX/YY |
| 14 |
Personally, I rather set a symlink than copy the file... |
| 15 |
Has the following advantages: |
| 16 |
- It's clearly visible what's the configured timezone (by simply reading |
| 17 |
the link text ;-) ) |
| 18 |
- updates to timezone-data update system's timezone automagically |
| 19 |
|

Drawbacks: |
| 21 |
according to FHS /usr may be a remote filesystem, but /etc/localtime has |
| 22 |
to exist during boot. |
