Thanks, Mike. I was familiar with the /etc/rcS.d scripts, but
hadn't heard about /etc/default/rc.S. That answers a lot of questions
I have had about the boot process in hamm.
When I looked in /etc/default/rc.S I saw that GMT was still null,
as it always has been. I don't understand why the newly installed
timezone assumed it was utc until I made the change in
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh, and then executed it. (I have removed the GMT
definition from hwclock.sh now that I now where it belongs.)

During installation, there was a message saying my timezone was
EST5EDT, and advising me to run tzconfig if I wanted to change it.
I do have a /usr/share/zoneinfo directory, but I also have
/usr/doc/timezone, (listed below) which is identical to
/usr/doc/libc6. I don't understand this. The dpkg -L list shows
timezones as containing this directory, but not the files included in
it. It is a bug if timezones doesn't have a manpage, and the contents
of this directory are also a bug.
