I'm having a struggle with getting my time zone to work correctly... what is this man page that is mentioned? I searched at linux man pages but nothing for tzdata or tz.

curaga:
You can use only the data in this extension, without the tzselect script. Of course tzselect does help you in finding the right file.
Just copy the right timezone file as /etc/localtime, add /etc/localtime to backup. After that, the extension is not needed.

Since the data is in /usr/local, I don't think just setting TZ would work.

roberts:
Don't forget it is simpe to set timezone via TZ without the need of an extension, just the base Tiny Core.
See: http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#timezone

Thanks for that reference! I had seen it before but I have seen so many other things that I forget... :P

I have tried tz=GMT-11 but it doesn't work.

Is there a reference where the various codes are listed? I am in Melbourne Australia; we have DST and the local time is dubbed EST (eastern standard time). I am unsure how to construct a code from your example: here is a crack at it, assuming EST will be recognised:

tz=EST,M10.1.0/2,M4.1.0/2  (not sure what the +8PDT means in your example...?
