You can change your timezone with 'sysinstall', with 'tzsetup' and like a good unix is
supposed to be by hand.

I haven't veriefied but I pretty sure 'sysinstall' starts the 'tzsetup' program when you
select 'configure | timezone'.

When you start 'tzsetup' it will ask you a few simple questions and it will set your timezone.
What it actually does is copy a timezone from '/usr/share/zoneinfo' to the file '/etc/localtime'
and updates the system date.

I you want to do it your self then you copy the required timezone over the '/etc/localtime'
file and you execute 'adjkerntz -a':
