Re: [guide-user] Where would I edit my time zone choices?

Woodchuk Mar 25, 2007

When you edit the file "timezone dot nam" you have to maintain the exact format for
each line. Any blank space in the line is created by using the "space bar".

The top line of the file is the number "58" -- if you add a line of text to the
file you must change that number to "59" etc. Same for any change.
