Some addition. In most cases the hardware clock is set to local
time rather then to UTC. At least this is true for all of my
machines. In this case if the timezone is set on boot options,
then the system time become wrong shifted according to the
timezone. That is because of hardware clock is considered to be
set to UTC time by default.
I have changed this default by adding "UTC=no" to
/etc/default/rcS if the timezone is set. Here is patch attached
for scripts/live-bottom/02_timezone rev. 2273
My be better (not sure) to add separate boot option for this.
