Yeah, uh, you installed the source RPM, which means that the files got 
dumped in /usr/src/redhat/ for you to be able to build a binary RPM.  
This will not update the binary timezone files until you build the 
binary RPM and install it.  However, I have several Fc4 boxes that 
didn't need the timezone update, it was already updated.
