The timezone specified (Europe/London) automatically changes between Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for winter months, and British Summer Time (BST) for summer months. The dates of the switch are end-of-March and end-of-October. The --utc switch says your hardware clock will be set to and maintained as UTC, which is the same time as GMT.

Subject: timezone on RHEL5.3

In my kickstart i set my language and timezone to be

lang en_US.UTF-8
langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
timezone --utc Europe/London

The build goes fine however on the built system the timezone is BST - 
any clue as to why?

thanks
