Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am new to the Linux world. I have been trying to install RH7.2 on my laptop. When I install I set my timezone to Tokyo (I currently live in Japan). However, when the installation is finished my timezone is EDT. I try to change this and there are no timezones listed. Having searched around to try to find an answer, I find that there is no usr/share/zoninfo after I install.
I also tried installing using the tz offset (instead of by location) and I get the same thing.

/usr/bin/dateconfig
yes. I get the following errors:
