In gentoo, which I use, you can just copy /etc/localtime to /compat/linux/etc. But if I recall correctly f8 uses a different version and need todo it in the same way as f8 does. I believe the zonefiles are located under /usr/share/zoneinfo so... cp /compat/linux/usr/share/zoneinfo/CET /compat/linux/etc/localtime ... should to the trick if the zonefiles even are installed, otherwise you need to add that rpm package. tzdata-2008h-1.fc8.noarch.rpm should probably be used, it apperently have some changes when DST is used on a couple of zones.
