While you're waiting for others to chime in, this is what I do k/t debootstrap'ing on regular occasion. One of the very first steps in the debootstrap process is to: # editor /etc/adjtime Then fill it with these three lines: 0.0 0 0.0 0 UTC After that, the next (terminal command line) step is: # dpkg-reconfigure tzdata Where we pick from those first choices and then next the more localized spot that echoes our own local times. When the second step completes, the feedback I receive looks like this: Current default time zone: 'America/New_York' Local time is now: Thu Jul 30 07:27:23 EDT 2020. Universal Time is now: Thu Jul 30 11:27:23 UTC 2020. Just learned something new myself here after all this time. If I page down on that second screen (which I NEVER do), it offers "US" as an alternative to "America". When dpkg-reconfigure completes with that option selected, the slightly altered feedback says this instead: Current default time zone: 'US/Eastern' There may be some professional, universal benefit to using one of those versus the other so there they are. Right offhand, I can see where more people around the globe might recognize the geographical location of New York a lot easier than they might be able to distinguish between the United States' usage of Eastern and Central time zones, etc. :) Hope that helps someone out here. Have fun! Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
