Georgina -
While you are tweaking things, you might want to fix your localtime
setting. On my Slackware installation there is a soft link from
/etc/localtime to the proper location under /usr/share/zoneinfo/...

In my case, it was created with this command (as root:

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime

but yours would have to point to the correct place for your own
location. Sorry I cannot help you with the other stuff...
