the "time/timezone" tab at the top of the setup tool screen will display the window shown below which is used for setting your system time and date. in the "time:" box, you may type the current time using the 24-hour clock. in the "day:" box, you may type the current day of the month. pull down the "month:" menu to select the current month. in the "year:" box, you may type the year.

   

    time zone

    click the "geographical location" button at the top of the window to select your location, if it is not "u.s." use the scroll bar to show your city/time zone, then click on it.

    this step creates a symbolic link from /etc/localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/[timezone].

    selecting the "set time on save" option causes the linux setup tool to set and save the system clock and the hardware clock with the time and date specified in the "time" and date fields. if you do not select that option, they will remain set to their current value.

    once you have completed setting the functionality for this tab, you can go to the next tab.

    do not click on the "save" button until you have setup all workstation functionality as this will exit you from the linux setup tool.
