That was the "old" way of doing it. For a number of reasons a new
method is devised. The new method is:
1. copy file from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime
2. set your timezone in /etc/conf.d/clock.
The timezone-data package is supposed to automagically
update /etc/localtime when the TIMEZONE is set in /etc/conf.d/clock.
It's been observed that a lot of people who had problems with the
timezone change had not done #2.
