 After flashing Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2 the file /etc/localtime
 seems to be a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB


 {{{
 md5sum /etc/localtime /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB
 410c65079e6d14f4eedf50c19bd073f8  /etc/localtime
 410c65079e6d14f4eedf50c19bd073f8  /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB
 }}}


 It could, and [according to some it should], be a symlink instead of a
 copy.


 {{{
 ls -alh /etc/localtime
 -rw-r--r--    1 root     root         3.6k Jan  1  1970 /etc/localtime
 }}}
