Not quite. I forgot to say you also need to issue the following command afterward: # dpkg-reconfigure tzdata That's where you get to pick your timezone which is the other thing I forgot to mention. I saw Stefan referenced the topic so I wasn't going to create any more noise until I realized I'd left off tzdata. The good news there is the Debian debootstrap link covers that, too: https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/amd64/apds03.html.en#idp7856176 Next time I'll try to remember to fully read my own offered resource before hitting "Send".
