> I get EDT for "1 - Eastern Time" when running sysinstall on an installed > system. Is your local clock on the right day? Sorry, must've been seeing things when I wrote EST. Complicated by the 'EDT' displayed by tzsetup not[?], afaik, being an actual formal timezone but just a marker as to the current state of the actual EST5EDT timezone. I use NTP, UTC CMOS (no /etc/wall_cmos_clock), and /etc/localtime copied in. 1) EST - is UTC-5 all year round, and is in use in only a few geographical places. 2) EST5EDT - is EST (UTC-5) in the 'winter', and 'EDT' (UTC-4) in the 'summer' (now, daylight savings time). > If you think sysinstall should produce "EST5EDT", you're expecting the > wrong thing.

I don't know what the difference is between the 'New_York' and 'EST5EDT' files. I suppose I could look at the zone compiler for that. The more formal 'EST5EDT' seems to work fine for me. 87a75432ef636782207fa06d603585c0 /etc/localtime 3cf0ccc7d6b240390188367933c9cd90 /usr/share/zoneinfo/posixrules 3cf0ccc7d6b240390188367933c9cd90 /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York 6fac20ee52a95b38ad0e1657f77aa4c4 /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST 87a75432ef636782207fa06d603585c0 /usr/share/zoneinfo/EST5EDTReceived on Tue Sep 08 2009 - 21:49:38 UTC
