Depending on your preference:

1)  remove /etc/localtime,
    then "ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime"

or

2)  do a "cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles /etc/localtime"

I prefer method 1 because then I can see what file I'm using (not
that it's hard to figure it out with method 2).
