Hi,

I need to disable DST (Daylight Savings Time) in Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.

I know that the daylight savings rules can be found with:
$ zdump -v America/New_York | grep 2010
America/New_York Sun Mar 14 06:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 01:59:59 2010 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000
America/New_York Sun Mar 14 07:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Mar 14 03:00:00 2010 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
America/New_York Sun Nov 7 05:59:59 2010 UTC = Sun Nov 7 01:59:59 2010 EDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-14400
America/New_York Sun Nov 7 06:00:00 2010 UTC = Sun Nov 7 01:00:00 2010 EST isdst=0 gmtoff=-18000

I noticed that the installation doesn't mention DST as an option. Does Ubuntu allow for operating without DST? If so, how can I disable it?
