I tried this on Fedora. Whether it works on Knoppix I don't know.
The file /etc/localtime seems to be the one applications consult
to determine the TZ. If you have it make a copy. If not, stop reading.
/etc/localtime is a "zoneinfo" file. Others are under
/usr/share/zoneinfo. On my system /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern is
identical to /etc/localzone.
Copy whichever /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/??? file is appropriate for you
to /etc/localtime.
I did not check it across a reboot.
