<para>
Depending on the location selected at the beginning of the installation
process, you may be shown a list of timezones relevant for that location.
If your location has only one time zone, you will not be asked anything and
the system will assume that time zone.
</para><para>
If for some reason you wish to set a time zone for the installed system
that does <emphasis>not</emphasis> match the selected location, there are
two options.

<para>
The simplest option is to just select a different timezone after the
installation has been completed and you've booted into the new system.
The command to do this is:
<informalexample><screen>
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
</screen></informalexample>
</para>
</listitem><listitem>
<para>
Alternatively, the time zone can be set at the very start of the
installation by passing the parameter
<userinput>time/zone=<replaceable>value</replaceable></userinput>
when you boot the installation system. The value should of course be a
valid time zone, for example <userinput>Europe/London</userinput> or
<userinput>UTC</userinput>.
</para>

<para>
For automated installations the time zone can also be set using preseeding.
