I'm creating a preseed.cfg file for installing Debian 8.6 in a dual-boot enviroment with some version of MS Windows. There are two distinct use cases:
   1. Two of my machines with WinXP Pro SP3
2. A remote (~1000 miles]friend with several machines - some with WinXP, others with
      Windows 10 or later.

I have discovered on my WinXP machine that:
   1. WinXP _displays_ the correct time.
      "Date and Time Properties" - Time Zone set to
          (GMT-06:00)Central Time(US&Canada)
          Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes
2. Debian 8.6 w MATE run from LIVE DVD _displays_ the correct time 3. Debian 8.6 w MATE installed from DVD 1 of 13 with aid of custom preseed.cfg
      _displays_ a time 5 hours earlier.
      The _display_ is independent of whether
           d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
                       *OR*
           d-i clock-setup/utc boolean false
      is used in the preseed.cfg file.

I'm confused.
