Because some or maybe even most new systems use:
a symbolic link as in:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime
So make sure what is at /etc/localtime before you change it.
Four had a symbolic link and only one had a copy of the file.
two(2) where links to: /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern
And two(2) where to: /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York
Same basic data set, just a different name.
As for a Live CD Rescue Is Possible(RIP), I will have to update and remaster.
