Thank you for the steps and the logical elucidations that may
certainly help someone else, but I can't do that "because" all
electronic devices which I use are being kept.
System clock in UTC and time offset rules from time zone database is a
way to reduce maintenance burden. E.g. you do not need to learn how to
synchronize hardware clock and runtime system clock.
You can't physically alter a DVD[+|-]R once it is burned ...
Notice that for the case of DVD I suggested
timedatectl set-timezone America/Chicago
when the system is booted. There may be a UI dialog to configure
timezone. I have no idea concerning desktop environment on your DVD.
I have never tried if timezone may be configured from DHCP response when
your computer gets its IP address. Such tricks may eliminate necessity
to type commands. I assume that a query to a geolocation service to
guess time zone is not an option for you.
Anyway you need to regularly burn new disks to have latest security
updates, so tzdata should not be terribly outdated as well.
Finally at least some CD-R and DVD±R formats allows to not close session
and to add more files later. Perhaps it may be used to customize an
image to add a script to configure time zone, add some updates, etc.
