[Fedora-livecd-list] Time Zone issues

[Todd N]

Hello,
 
I am having an issue trying to get my Live CD to be created with the correct timezone.  I
see in livecd-fedora-9-base-desktop.ks the timezone parameter is set by default to
US/Eastern.  I have commented that out (with the standard #) and added a line so that the
following now shows:
 
#timezone US/Eastern
timezone America/Chicago
 
On my new Live CD, however, on doing the "date" command I get the following:
 
Wed Jun 25 14:40:05 EDT 2008
 
Is there something I am missing?  I would have expected the time zone to show as CDT.
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Todd
