Once upon a time, there was a timezone application in the Damn Small Control panel called "tzconfig".

It must have been removed for some reason.

Its there...it just doenst run on my system

Perhaps others might have better luck
Just open a terminal and type tzsetup

if you look inside tzsetup ( it is a shell script) you will see it needs files in usr/share/zoneinfo.
there is only US. maybe a *.dsl can be made including these files. until then the choice is yours.

inside /usr/share/zoneinfo localtime is a softlink to /etc/localtime..which is unreadable by cat or uneditable by vi

Now what?

Package: libc6 (2.3.2.ds1-18)
GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data

Contains the standard libraries that are used by nearly all programs on the system. This package includes shared versions of the standard C library and the standard math library, as well as many others. Timezone data is also included.

Timezone data is in libc6 debian package.
download, extract, copy the timezone data for your zone to /usr/share/zoneinfo create a link  /etc/localtime to this file.
the timezone data files are not readable in a texteditor.

but this is all a lot of work so i did it the easy way ignored the warning and read the whole story, so i know what is does and how it works.
