New F11 for the XO-1 build 5-timezones

[Yioryos Asprobounitis]

I have very limited wifi access so let me answer for the record some of your questions
I see time either by 'date' or 'hwclock' in the terminal
I change /etc/localtime by cp or ln -s the respective /usr/share/zoneinfo file
I did not change the /etc/sysconfig/clock file that reads: 
ZONE="US/Eastern"
UTC=False
The arbitrary time change does not follow after changes in /etc/localtime. There the time changes as expected but is still off by certain hours. I can not find a pattern for the clock changing point. I looked at 00:00 and 12:00 GMT, hwclock and localtime and at 24h after last ntp update.
I list the last line of the binary /etc/localtime file because it does shows the timezone in use by that file.
Sorry if I missed something
Hopefully the next build will have the /etc/adjtime and UTC setting corrected. Then we'll see if "time problem" persists.
