I have my BIOS set for EST here are my outputs:
etc $ /bin/date
Tue Feb 17 07:49:35 EST 2009
etc $ /sbin/hwclock
Tue 17 Feb 2009 08:49:39 AM EST -0.105039 seconds
You need to edit /etc/timezone file for timezone.
Mine looks like this:
etc $ cat timezone
America/New_York

It really doesn't matter where the build CD comes from as long as you setup
you time correctly
I would set the system clock then use
setclock
to set the hwclock to the system clock.
Opinions are going to very on how the system and hw clocks are to be setup.
This setup works for me and I run CentOS here.
