You can use tzsetup to pick a time zone. Remember also that > your local real-time clock on your machine should be set to UTC. Not necessarily, if you run a dual-boot computer with windows you normally set your cmos clock to local time and let the less flexible OS handle the change-over. There's a sysinstall menu entry for setting your location, and type of clock, which I presumably forgot to set (one of the pitfalls of living in GMT). I had similar problems which all sorted themselves out when I ran sysinstall and rebooted. My time zone is now BST.
