Hi again,

I did a few more tests:

I set the hardware clock  of the PC  to   America/Los_angeles  time ( PDT ) 
An Install run  with B67  selecting Europe/Sweden as the  Locale/Location   
then 
sets the Time  CORRECTLY. 

Now,  This is not  going to work in the real world.   The average Joe  somewhere
in the world is not going to have his PC hardwarclock  set to PST/PDT  

When  one installs Linux or FreeBSD  one always get the question if the 
PC hardware clock is set to UTC/GMT    or if its set to Local time.
Seems  like you need to add that question to the installers dialouges,
and then take the correct decision.
When I start a dtterm  in the installer CDE ,  and run  "date"  it clearly 
states 
that the assumed timezone is PDT.   If the assumed timezone was UTC 
instead it might be easier for non-californians  to realize whats going on.  
:-)
