Please 'copy' the file to /etc/localtime.  On smallish machines
(laptops), it's a waste of disk space to keep all of /usr/share/zoneinfo
online, so I always blow it away.  Having it as a file is a much saner
solution in any case b/c it's necessary when doing work in single-user
mode, or else time-stamps and such will be messed up.
