The contents of /adm/timezone/local have no effect on what
time(0) returns during the install. They only affect what time zone
is used to *print* the time.
They do matter if you're running aux/timesync -L, because -L says
assume that the PC clock is set to local time instead of GMT.
If your local PC clock is set to GMT (e.g., you are not dual-booting
with Windows) then just remove the -L from termrc after installing.
This is not hard.
