Hi,

you could try the following:
http://www.rwhitby.net/blog/nslu2-linux/setting-the-openmoko-timezone.html

Well this is the first entry when using google with "openembedded time
zone", so please consider using search engines first next time.

Also this is the very same process like it is done on a desktop
computer, googling for "set time zone linux command line" gives this
result:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-unix-change-setup-timezone-tz-variable/
Which shows more precise steps at the headline "Set timezone using
/etc/localtime configuration file [any Linux distro]".


(Sorry for cross posting, but this was carried over to the OE-Core list)
